The perfect smoothie to drink while watching ‘Soul’ on Christmas Day
Looking for a little treat to have while gathering to watch Disney-Pixar’s ‘Soul’ that debuts on Christmas Day? How about the “Right Note Smoothie.”
Pixar’s latest movie is debuting Dec. 25 on Disney+ and the Dole Food Company has come up with a concoction as part of the company’s year-long collaboration with Pixar Animation Studios.
The Right Note Smoothie features a blend of DOLE Blueberries, Blackberries, Bananas, Pineapple, Spinach, almond milk and old-fashioned rolled oats. Dole created the bluish-purple-hued drink to be low-fat, low-sodium, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free to give it the same all-audience appeal as the widely anticipated film itself.
The recipe is below. But if you want to download the recipe card you can go here.
