Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen pineapples for this recipe. If using frozen pineapples and/or banana, ice cubes can be avoided.
- Use Unsweetened Coconut Milk or Light Coconut Milk for the recipe.
Adding Dairy Cream or Milk is not a good idea with pineapples as milk tends to curdle when combined with citrus fruits. - If you cannot source coconut milk, simply add oat milk or almond milk.
Honey - Can be substituted with agave, maple syrup and granulated sugar as well. All Vegan alternatives. - Pina Colada Smoothie can be easily turned into a smoothie bowl. Top with fresh fruits, berries, nuts and seeds.
- Your favorite protein powder can also be added to bulk up the drink. Especially post workout, mid meal snack or breakfast smoothie.
- Smoothies taste best when made fresh and consumed immediately. Wouldn't recommend consuming leftovers a day later.
