Today I wanted to share one of my favorite things in the summer time…pina colada smoothies! Something about the blend of coconut and pineapple and creamy goodness just screams SUMMER to me. It’s the perfect refreshing treat to cool off with on a hot summer day and has all those classic tropical flavors that make you feel like you’re at the beach

Instructions

Step 1

Frozen pineapple. This creates the perfect creamy consistency. You can buy bags of frozen pineapple at the grocery, or cut a fresh pineapple into cubes and then freeze them yourself.

Step 2

Stir the coconut milk. Coconut milk tends to separate in the can (solid cream on top and liquid on bottom). So before using the milk, make sure to give it a big stir to combine the 2 layers. You can definitely use your blender to do this, just make sure to pour it back in the can and then measure out 3/4 cup.

Step 3

Liquid first. As with most smoothie recipes, pour the liquid (coconut milk) into the blender first, then add the remaining ingredients. Not only is this gentler on your blender, but the smoothie will blend more easily this way.

Step 4

Consistency. After blending together the ingredients, check out the consistency. If it’s too thick, add in a bit more coconut milk. Or blend in more frozen pineapple or ice to thicken it up

Step 5

Substitute the coconut milk for coconut cream for a thicker and sweeter smoothie

Step 6

Combine the coconut milk (stir first), sugar, pineapple and ice in a blender.

Step 7

Blend on high power until smooth. Add more milk or frozen pineapple if needed to reach desired consistency.

Step 8

Pour into 2 glasses and serve with fresh pineapples if desired
