Pineapple Upside Down Smoothie

By

When it’s hot outside, you’ll find a smoothie in my hand nearly every day. For a quick breakfast, after a hot run, as a cool snack. All of the above. I need my smoothies to be satisfying, so I started adding a handful of uncooked rolled oats years ago. The reward is threefold: whole grains for nutrition, a thicker texture (especially if you let it sit for a while in the fridge), and a nice doughy taste that reminds me of pie crust.

Ingredients

This smoothie is inspired by a pineapple upside down cake. There is frozen pineapple (naturally), a date for a subtle “caramelized” flavor and sweetness, oats for that doughy taste, and vanilla Greek yogurt and milk to blend it all up. And of course – a cherry on top!!

Why you should put oats in your smoothies

You guys know that oats are so incredibly versatile, and if you haven’t put them in a smoothie yet you are missing out! The texture is superb. I often make two smoothies at once and have one later on for a snack or for breakfast the next day. Just like when you make overnight oats, the oats soak up the milk, and an oat-based smoothie will thicken over time and is fun to eat with a spoon! A 1/2 cup of Quaker Oats also adds 4 grams of fiber, so in addition to taste and texture you’re getting nutrition too.

How To Make It

Gather your ingredients. I froze fresh pineapple for this recipe, but you can use frozen from a bag too. Or you could use fresh – just add some ice as well.

Don’t forget to take the pit out of your date! Slice it in half and remove.

Blend her on up!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
