Hawaiian Island Surfer Smoothie

We all wish we could be on a beach in Hawaii, laying back in a chair under a palm tree, watching the surfers, and sipping a cold beverage..... now back to reality. But, I've got a smoothie here that will take you away to that very place in your mind as you sip it! We love this smoothie all summer long. Just add a small umbrella and you'll feel like you're on vacation!
