This smoothie looks just wonderful Serena! I’ve never used oats in a smoothie, great idea!
If you blend it together it will be smooth and creamy, but very filling and with a lovely flavour! It really is something to try…:-) Have a wonderful Sunday!
Going to try it soon 🙂
Peccato non mi piaccia l’ananas… sembra buonissimo!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Puoi sostituire l’ananas con delle banane, se vuoi.
ah!!! perfetto con le banane!!! 🙂
Oats in a smoothie?? Sounds intriguing…
I was just looking at your wonderful blog…It’s always a pleasure to see you wonderful recipes and beautiful posts! Anyway, I used rolled oat in this smoothie to add extra proteins and fibre, but also because, if you blend it properly with the fruits, it makes the smoothie creamier and add a little bit of nice flavour to the drink…I really enjoyed it!! It is very filling, though…Definitely a breakfast smoothie! 🙂
It really does seem like it would give a hearty texture and that homey flavor under the fruit. I will have to try it soon!
I love smoothies and one with fresh pineapple has to be delish. Can’t wait to try it. Love your photos too!
Hi Linda! Thank you so much! 🙂 When I was making this smoothie I added a few seeds of cardamom for their fresh flavour… I had the feeling that they would work well with pineapple…It is delicious! Give it a try, you’ll like it!
I also made it & my hubby & I both adored the hints of cardamom in here! So delicious! too! xxx
We had it as a light lunch! x
Wow, thank you!! It is quite an unusual combination, but I think cardamom really works with the pineapple, with its refreshing flavour… This smoothie is perfect as a light lunch, because it is quite filling. XX
Yes, we think so too! xxx
