Description
This Piña Colada Smoothie blends tropical flavors into a creamy fruity drink that tastes like sunshine in a glass—no alcohol, just pure refreshment.
Ingredients
- 1–1½ cups coconut milk
- 2–3 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- ½ frozen banana (optional for extra creaminess)
- ½ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (optional for protein)
- 1 cup ice (if not using frozen fruit)
- Optional: 1 Tbsp honey or sugar (to taste)
Instructions
- Pour coconut milk into the blender first, so it eases the blending process.
- Add frozen pineapple (and banana if using), yogurt, and ice.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy—about 1–2 minutes.
- Taste and sweeten with honey or sugar if desired.
- Serve immediately in chilled glasses. Garnish with fresh pineapple, coconut flakes, or a cherry.
Notes
- If you don’t have frozen pineapple, freeze fresh chunks for a few hours or blend fresh fruit with ice.
- If you want a vegan version, skip the yogurt or use plant-based yogurt.
- If you want extra tropical flavors, stir in shredded coconut or coconut flakes after blending.
- For a protein boost, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or protein-rich yogurt.
- If you want to avoid using ice, substitute with extra frozen banana.
- Add a squeeze of lime juice for a citrus twist.
- Leftover smoothies can be stored in a sealed jar in the fridge and consumed within 24 hours.
- For a frozen treat, freeze leftovers in popsicle molds for about 4 hours.
