Pineapples and Pits

First I'll tell you the gross thing, and if your stomach isn't turned, I'll give you a recipe. 

Went to the gym today, and was so sweaty I could smell myself. EWWWWWW. That never happens! It was warm in there, and it's humid out. Silly St. Louis weather. I ran five miles this morning (88/100 miles for 100 mile June -- 12 more to go!). The first mile was super slow because I was trying to get my iPhone to stream music and the app kept crashing. Luckily I didn't crash since I wasn't watching my feet. I finally managed to get the mix to play. I highly recommend Jump, Jive & Jog -- a mix from rockmyrun.com. It's big band/swing, and it's AWESOME. My second mile was 10:33--much better once I got the beat going!  

Ok, the recipe. Steve made us smoothies last night with fresh pineapple (well, already cut up and cubed, but not in a can), coconut milk, banana and ice. (Use about a cup each pineapple and coconut milk -- it was enough for both of us to have a glass) He found the recipe on Paula Deen's site. It was really good, but I told him to use frozen banana next time, since the ice kind of melted. That would make it more like a pina colada. It seems similar to the pineapple whip recipe I've seen a lot on Pinterest. It's just pineapple, almond milk, and honey, but since Steve can't have almond milk, we'd use the coconut milk. 

I found a recipe for peach frozen yogurt. It's basically yogurt, honey, frozen peaches, and lemon juice. I'm thinking, though, that frozen bananas and peaches blended together would make a good "ice cream" and it shouldn't even need additional sugar/honey!

One of my friends just grilled her pineapple, as well. So many good summer recipes!
