It’s February, people, which means winter is going to be sticking around for a couple more months. How does that make you feel? Not so great? Me too. If your next tropical vacation isn’t in the near future, I have a smoothie that can help you out. You only need five ingredients to make it happen.

If you’re feeling in extra need of a vacation this winter, fill your bathtub up with some warm water and dip your toes in as you sip on this smoothie. It’s almost like you’re at the beach. Almost.
