Another day, another smoothie bowl. It’s Thursday night which means it’s almost the weekend, right? Right! Weekends are the best mostly because no work (duh), but also because when I’m not hiking, I have all the time I need to make myself a delicious breakfast and eat it in peace instead of wolfing it down like I would have to do during the work week. I see weekends as a vacation, if you will. And what is my favorite thing of all time to consume on vacations? Pina coladas!

Think of this smoothie bowl as the PG version of my (okay, everybody’s) favorite vacation staple. It’s loaded with summer produce, but it’s easy to eat all year long if you plan ahead just a little bit and load up your freezer now! That tactic is on my to do list so that I can make this smoothie bowl in the dead of winter and cheer myself up just a tad. Winters in New England can be rough!
