4 days from now, I will be boarding a plane and heading to Chicago to catch up with a good friend and attend the Healthy Living Summit.  I am so freakin’ excited.  The Twitter chatter has really picked up and there’s so many people I’m looking forward to meeting.  I’m still not sure how I’m going to spend my free time in the city, but I don’t really care either.  I know its going to be a good time, no matter what I end up doing.

The Summit organizers have set up a contest to see who can come up with a delicious smoothie using Stonyfield yogurt.  Since Brian is the smoothie making expert in our home, he and I developed a delicious creation this evening that I’m entering into the contest.  I’m a sucker for anything coconut (if you’re feeling friendly and want to send me bags and bags of the new coconut m&ms, I’ll love you forever), so this seemed appropriate.

Tropical Fruit Smoothie

1 banana

1 cup plain Stonyfield Organic Lowfat Yogurt

1 1/2 cups pinapple chunks

1 cup coconut milk

1/4 cup flaked coconut

Combine all ingredients in blender until smooth.  Enjoy!  (I love how easy smoothies are!)

Makes about 4 cups

Disclosure: This entry is for the Healthy Living Summit Stonyfield Smoothie Contest.  Stonyfield is a sponsor of the Summit, but not this contest.

I’m a self-professed tea addict.  With the weather as cold as it’s been, my interest in warm beverages is on the increase.  I know some of my readers love coffee and tea as much as I do, so I thought it’d make a good theme for the week.

Check out this really cute Submarine Tea Infuser (via Serious Eats)!

Slashfood has a piece about what we put in our coffee:Milk and Coffee: A Match Made in Heaven

If this brief post isn’t enough for you, Katrina’s blog Tea Pages is all about tea!

Need to buy some tea?  It’s not secret that I’m a huge fan of Harney and Sons. I’ve also been happy with purchases I’ve made from Adagio Teas.

Meanwhile, as I give you links about coffee and tea, Matt over at NoMeatAthlete is working to give up caffeine.  Good luck Matt!

What’s your favorite kind of tea?  Anything I should be trying?
