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.

Step 3:  Pour into a glass and enjoy!

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!
