The Better Baker: Low Fat Pina Colada Smoothie {No Sugar Added} & More...

Another wonderful and refreshing recipe from Brenda at Sugar-Free Mom

Lowfat Pina Colada Smoothie (No Sugar Added). She shares many awesome recipes there and some wonderful healthy-eating information.
Please swing by and tell her I said hello.

This kind of healthy drink is one terrific way to begin your day!

I keep sliced bananas stocked in the freezer all the time so I'm always ready to whip up a fruit smoothie.

I nearly ran to the kitchen to make this one after first seeing it! I added a little
oatmeal to bulk it up and a little yogurt to keep me full even longer...

EASY PEASY - you can't go wrong!

It's soo yummy too - you can pretend you're on a tropical island sitting by the ocean while enjoying this tasty treat. {I'll be dreaming of sitting on the veranda at my brother's villa in St. Kitts}

Following Brenda's instructions, one serving is only 100 calories.
(minus the oats)
Enjoy it every day if you'd like!!!

LOWFAT PINA COLADA SMOOTHIE

{NO SUGAR ADDED}

2 c. fresh or frozen pineapple chunks

(I know fresh is always best, but I used canned in its own juice)

1 c. unsweetened canned coconut milk, light

1 banana
3 Tb. dry oats (It gets obliterated in the blender)
1/4 c. (Greek) yogurt
(vanilla, coconut, pineapple - you choose)

3/4 c. ice, crushed somewhat

optional: 1 tsp. rum extract

topping: unsweetened, shredded coconut flakes

In a blender, blend all ingredients until smooth. Top with coconut flakes and enjoy. Don't drink too quickly cause you'll freeze your brain!
