If you like Piña Coladas and getting caught in the rain, you’re not alone. Hello! There was an entire song written by Rupert Holmes about the “Escape” this beverage provides. But not everyone is into the added sugar content that sometimes accompanies this sweet drink. Luckily, we have the answer for you. This Piña Colada Smoothie doesn’t have a lot of processed sugar and it’s full of fruit! The tropical flavors of coconut and pineapple are one of my favorite combinations. It is so tangy and sweet and perfect for the warm weather days, or days you are dreaming of warm weather. It just reminds me of sitting by the pool and soaking up sunshine! I am not a huge fan of drinking coconut water by itself, but when it is blended up in this smoothie I love it! It gives it the perfect consistency and taste.
Ingredients in a Piña Colada Smoothie
This healthy pina colada smoothie is vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and has only 5 ingredients.
Frozen pineapple Coconut water Canned coconut milk Coconut flakes Honey
Substitutions
You can use fresh pineapple in place of the frozen pineapple. Cut the pineapple into chunks and place it in a high speed blender along with a cup of ice. For extra pineapple flavor, make ice cubes with pineapple juice.
Serving Suggestions
You definitely want to serve this smoothie immediately after you blend it. If you let it sit, it will separate. If you have leftovers that you want to blend later, store it in the fridge and then add a few more pineapple chunks and blend it up again. This will restore the original creamy texture. For more tropical flavor, add a frozen banana and a splash of vanilla extract. For a healthy boost, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a scoop of Greek yogurt. Top your smoothie with pineapple chunks, coconut flakes, or whipped cream.
