Here’s one smoothie recipe that I’ll be trying once we can buy loads of strawberries this December in Baguio.

2 cans (240 ml each) Pure Pineapple Juice
1/4 kg fresh strawberries, washed and trimmed
1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar

Freeze contents of 1 can of Pineapple Juice in an ice cube tray. Chill the other can. Combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. Garnichs with fresh strawberry slices. Serve immediately.

**This is rich in folic acid and helps prevent/reduce birth defects so this drink is ideal for pregnant women.

You Are a Boston Creme Donut

You have a tough exterior. No one wants to mess with you. But on the inside, you’re a total pushover and completely soft. You’re a traditionalist, and you don’t change easily. You’re likely to eat the same doughnut every morning, and you pout if it’s sold out.

This is perfect. Dunkin Donuts’ Boston Kreme is my favorite actually!
