This smoothie recipe holds a special place in my heart. Growing up with separated parents meant that I didn’t get to spend much time with my dad. However, I vividly remember one summer when he took us to the beach in Pensacola, even though we lived in Chicago at the time. It was on that trip that I tasted my very first smoothie at a little beachside shop. To this day, I treasure that memory. Now, every time I whip up one of these low-fat, refreshing smoothies, I think of him. Simple, healthy, and quick to make—this smoothie is a delicious reminder of fond moments shared.
