What’s up Doc?  Just enjoying an eye healthy drink!

Ingredients:
1 cup carrot juice
1/2 cup packed fresh chopped pineapple (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup lowfat buttermilk
2 Medjool dates, halved and pitted
Pinch ground cinnamon

Directions:
Pour the carrot juice into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid, at least 2 hours.

Put the pineapple, buttermilk, dates, carrot juice ice cubes and cinnamon into a blender. Blend on high until smooth, turning off the blender and pushing down on the ingredients with a spatula or wooden spoon as needed to help the blending process. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of cold water if needed to adjust consistency.
