Muppets Smoothie
A Bit of History
I told my family, “call me in the morning when you wake up and I’ll make you a smoothie”! I was really channeling the lyrics of the Muppet Show: Put the Lime in the Coconut song. Although, the original song and lyrics belong to the Harry Nilsson, we love the Muppets version. We went through a phase in my home where my kids wanted to listen to Muppets tunes on repeat. In addition to being one of our favorite Muppets renditions, this song was the inspiration for today’s kid-friendly Pineapple Lime Coconut Smoothie.
About the Recipe: Pineapple Lime Coconut Smoothie
My kids love to make fruit smoothies with me in the kitchen. It is always exciting to see what creations they concoct. Today’s version consists of fresh lime and orange juice, pineapple chunks, banana, and vanilla soy yogurt for extra creaminess. We always make a large batch and freeze individual servings. Simply, remove from the freezer and pack in an insulated lunch bag for a healthy school lunch addition or snack.
