    Oh my goodness, this smoothie is delicious and refreshing, with or without a splash of rum.  You’ll be transported to your favorite tropical island!  It is naturally gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free.

    This is one of my favorite summertime smoothies!

    How to make a pina colada smoothie:

    Step 1:  Gather and measure the ingredients. You’ll need pineapple juice, coconut milk, frozen pineapples, and a banana.

    Step 2:  Add the ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend for about a minute until all the ingredients are smooth.

    Smoothie tips:

    • Use a high-speed blender, but a regular blender will also work.
    • Add more coconut milk (or milk), or water if the smoothie is too thick.
    • In a pinch, you can substitute water for the milk or substitute different milk.
    • Use frozen fruit to get a creamy smooth consistency.
    • Buy bags of frozen fruit at the grocery store or cut up and freeze your own.
    • The recipe can be doubled to make two smoothies.

    What alcohol is in pina colada?

    • Usually rum!

    Health benefits of pineapples:

    Pineapples have bromelain, an enzyme that studies show reduces inflammation and swelling, and helps digestion.  Additionally, all the ingredients are affordable and convenient to find.  I usually buy a bag of frozen pineapple chunks, which lasts for several frozen tropical fruit smoothie servings.  I love that this smoothie is so easy and convenient.  The pineapple and orange add loads of vitamin C.

    Enjoy this smoothie any time of day – breakfast, as a snack, or take it to go!

    And if you added a splash of rum, you would likely have a tasty, refreshing, Pina Colada!
