Easy Pineapple Smoothie

by Ivana Garcia

If you're a busy college student like myself, you should know that time to make something healthy is not always an [[#|option]]. Between studying and working and attempting to keep a social life, time-consuming [[#|recipes]] are usually not our go-to when we're looking for something to eat. We need something quick, especially in the morning when it's hard to even wake up and eat something to begin with. Now, I love smoothies. They're easy to make and not to mention healthy, so I'm sharing my recipe with you!

Ingredients:
- 1 cup of light vanilla yogurt

- 1 cup of pineapple chunks

[[#|Directions]]:
- Combine the yogurt and ice cubes and blend until the ice is in large chunks.
