Tropical Smoothie Breakfast

One of my favorite ways to make a smoothie more filling for breakfast (instead of just enjoying it as a tasty beverage) is by adding oatmeal. It thickens it up and seems to keep me full longer than smoothies without oats. But if you don’t like the consistency of a smoothie with oatmeal, just skip that ingredient! All of these recipes work just fine without it.

And with pineapple, banana, orange juice and coconut milk, the kids are going to devour these smoothies. Make them into popsicles in the summer… what a treat!

While this is one of my favorite smoothies for the summer, it’s good all year round. I use fresh pineapple when I can. I buy several at once (because cutting them is no fun), chop them up and put them in baggies in the freezer. But if you’re in a pinch, the chopped pineapple from a can works great, too. Just drain the pineapple juice before freezing or else you’ll end up with a big glob of fruit that’s pretty difficult for your blender to liquify if it’s a small one.

Of course, if you’re not using frozen fruit, you can add a cup of ice to the blender along with your smoothie ingredients to chill it and make it thicker.
