Pina Colada SmoothiePina Colada Smoothie

I love making refreshing smoothies for summer, like my Blueberry Pineapple Smoothie, Mango Spinach Smoothie, or Raspberry Smoothie. I make them all the time for my kids as it’s a great way to sneak veggies and fresh fruits.

Smoothies are quick to make, healthy (if done the right way), and absolutely delicious. This mocktail is a Pina Colada Smoothie or a Virgin Pina Colada since it’s the alcohol-free version of your favorite cocktail you can enjoy for breakfast or a snack and refresh!

I love coconut recipes, and Pina Colada is one of my favorite drinks of all time, with the best combination of flavors that marries pineapple and coconut. And it’s delicious without rum for a healthy pina colada smoothie! You will see many pina colada smoothies that include bananas. This recipe doesn’t because the original Pina Colada doesn’t contain any.

Ingredients

US Customary – Metric

▢ 2 cups Frozen Pineapple
▢ 1 cup Coconut Milk - carton
▢ 2 tablespoons Coconut Yogurt - unsweetened
▢ 1 tablespoon Shredded Coconut (Unsweetened)
▢ 1-2 teaspoons Maple Syrup

Optional to decorate

▢ 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Desiccated Coconut
▢ 1 wedge Fresh Pineapple
▢ 1 teaspoon Toasted Coconut Flakes

Instructions

Optional – glass decoration

You can dip the top of two glasses in a shallow bowl filled with 1 cm water, then dip it in another bowl filled with unsweetened desiccated coconut. Dip and rotate it to stick coconut to the rim.
Place the tall glasses in the freeze for 10 minutes to set the coconut on side of the rim.

Smoothie

In a high-speed blender jug, add all the ingredients in any order.
Blend on the high-speed setting until frothy, creamy, and smooth. Add a splash of coconut milk if too thick or difficult to blend. Or add a few more pineapple frozen chunks to thicken.
Serve immediately with toasted coconut flakes on top and a fresh pineapple wedge.

Notes

Low-Sugar: Pineapple is high in sugar, so if you want to decrease the sugar in this smoothie, you can replace half of the pineapple with frozen cauliflower rice or frozen zucchini. To enhance the pineapple flavor without adding sugar, add 1/4 teaspoon of pineapple stevia drops. Also, skip the syrup or use a sugar-free syrup to boost the sweetness of the smoothie recipe.

Coconut-Free: Coconut is the key ingredient of a pina colada, but if you have a coconut allergy, swap the coconut milk for any plant-based milk you love, like oat milk, hemp milk, rice milk, or almond milk. Swap the coconut yogurt for any dairy-free plain yogurt you like.

Can I Use Canned Coconut Milk? Yes, you can use canned coconut milk instead of carton coconut milk. Shake the can very well before opening it, then measure and add to the jug. You can swap coconut yogurt for more canned coconut milk if desired.

Can I Use Frozen Bananas? Yes, you can remove 1/2 cup of frozen pineapple and swap it for 1/2 cup of frozen banana pieces. It’s about one large frozen banana.

Can I Skip The Yogurt? Coconut yogurt adds creaminess to the drink, but you can skip it or replace it with canned coconut cream or another dairy-free unsweetened yogurt you like.

Can I Use Pineapple Juice? If you don’t have any pineapple, you can replace the chunks with pineapple juice, but it will have a less creamy texture.

Can I Make A Protein Pina Colada Smoothie? You can increase the protein content by adding a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder to the jug.
