This thick and delicious Pineapple Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie will stick with you all morning and keep you full and satisfied until lunch.
*Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2015. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.
When making this smoothie, I suggest that you cut up your own pineapple and that you don't remove the core. It is within the core that an enzyme called bromelain is found. Bromelain is a natural pain reliever, blood thinner, anti-coagulant, and also a natural anti-inflammatory agent.
Since you're adding all the ingredients of this smoothie into a blender, the fact that the core of the pineapple is a bit tough and fibrous won't be an issue and you'll gain all its wonderful health benefits. Win. Win.
Save this for later.
We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!

This smoothie is super hydrating, and has lots of protein, filling fiber, and a light sweetness that I just know you're going to love. I hope you'll try it and let me know what you think.
PINEAPPLE OATMEAL BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE
Yield: 2 large smoothies
1¼ cup coconut water
1 whole pineapple, skinned and cubed, (making sure not to remove the core)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon coconut extract
½ cup Greek yogurt
½ cup quick-cooking oats
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice (about ½ lime)
tiny pinch salt (optional)
ice cubes (optional)
-Place all the ingredients (salt and ice are optional) into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
If two large smoothies are too much for you to drink at one time, and you don't have anyone to share them with, don't be afraid to put one into a large lidded jar (a mason jar works wonderful well) and place the smoothie in the fridge for the next morning. You'll be happy to have the extra one on hand when you're ready to run out the door.
