Monday Morning Magic: The Pineapple Mojito Smoothie

Last summer I had my first mojito. My awesome boyfriend introduced me to them, and I became a fan pretty quickly. Our mojitos were a little unorthodox because we never used simple syrup, instead opting for other sweeteners like stevia, coconut sugar, fresh pineapple, and watermelon.There was always lots of fresh mint, and a healthy dose of lime. As the weather warms, I’m in the mood for mojitos again. But this morning I though hey, why limit the delicious mint-lime-pineapple combo to just Mojitos? And the Pineapple Mojito Smoothie was born.

Happy Monday!
