I’ve been creating this breakfast in my head for a long time –
Pineapple Coconut Smoothie Soup!
It started as a pineapple + coconut milk smoothie, but when I thought about drinking it through a straw, I changed it to a soup 🙂 It overflowed the bowl!
- 1 small ripe banana
- 1 heaping cup fresh pineapple
- 2/3 cup plain yogurt (I used Dannon non-fat)
- 2/3 cup lite coconut milk
- Handful of ice
- Drizzle honey
Topped with about a third of a cup of my new love: Zoe’s Granola!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best. Granola. Ever. Because it’s not your traditional granola. It’s very dry and very crunchy – so it’s got the heft of a cereal. It’s also pretty low in calories for a granola (190 for 3/4 a cup, which only about 120 per half cup compared to 200+ for traditional granolas). Me gusta!!
I was surprised the granola actually stayed on the top pretty well, although some did sink to the bottom and were fun to find later on.
Served with a little Naturally more on a spoon – the smallest spoon I have to encourage slow eating
+ green tea
So many liquids! This really filled me up.
Agenda:
Yoga(I was going to go to yoga with Kelsey, but I was too full too late :( )- Workout
- Lunch
- Play
- Night out with friends!
Liz says
Pineapple and coconut–two of my favorite things–looks delicious! You may have said this previously, but where do you get your Zoe’s granola? I’d love to try it.
Kath says
Liz,
I won this in a contest, but I have seen it at EarthFare. I bet Whole Foods has it too.

Happy Saturday!!
Sarah (LovIN My Tummy) says
Mmm! I love granola on my smoothies! I totally would have saved it all (along with the PB) for my last bite.
I definitely need a “play” bullet on my todo list!
april says
I’ve actually seen that granola at Big Lots a while back.. I should have gotten it!
Leah Z says
did you freeze your banana before making the smoothie? It looks completely delicious! I wish I wasn’t allergic to coconut…I’ll just have to try it with almond milk!
Mel says
Your soup sounds amazing! You definitely cannot beat pineapple and coconut.
Mara @ What's for Dinner? says
That soup sounds quite delicious, and like something I’d enjoy as a dessert! Have a fantastic day!
Emily (Healthy Fit Mama) says
That Zoe’s granola sounds good! I love granola but most of the varieties have a lot of fat and calories.
Amanda says

Bec says

Peace and Peanutbutter says
Kath, that soup looks delicious! I love all the ingredients, especially the coconut.
I also did a review for Zoe’s on my blog – it’s hands down my FAVORITE GRANOLA….especially the Cinnamon Raisin! I’d recommend a yummy yogurt parfait 🙂
Ada says
Wow! That is such a creative breakfast, I cannot wait to try something like that.

That looks so refreshing!
Heather says
What an awesome mix! And I love how you made it into a “soup” instead of sipping it like a smoothie! YUMMY! And that granola sounds fantastic. I wish I could find that around me!
Have a wonderful Saturday! 🙂

Hey Kath!
That looks so delish!
I finished my short documentary on the Spirituality of Food! Take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNvB4xYILPk
Kath says
Leah Z,
Nope, banana was fresh.
Sky ,
Cool! Maybe I can eat there when I visit in July?

Rachel says
That looks sooooo yummy! And I’m going to have to keep an eye out for that granola. I get so frustrated at the high-calorie counts of a lot of other brands.
Leah @ Simply Fabulous says
Have fun with your friends tonight!!
Redeemedbyblood says
dude, cool spoon!
Taylor says
That is my newfound fave granola as well!! I got the sampler pack and only have 1 box left. Yummm
Kristine says
Please tell me more about that spoon! I am in love. Where did you get it?
Joanne says
What a creative blend in that soup. You made it look really good and by the list of ingredients, it must taste fantastic.
Kath says
Kristine ,
It is from my grandmother, probably passed down in the family, so I don’t know where it came from. I believe it’s an iced tea spoon because of the long handle.
