So what if it is the dead of winter and the ground is covered with frost (or even snow in some places)! All it will take is one sip of this piña colada smoothie to remind you of the warmer weather that is yet to come. And it couldn’t be any easier to make with only two simple ingredients. If you don’t have a fun silly cup like the one pictured (which I saved from a work event years ago) then pick up some of those cheap drink umbrellas to put you in the mood. Why not?
(Virgin) Piña Colada Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1½ cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1⅓ cup coconut milk (or more depending on how creamy you like it)
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a blender until smooth. If you use fresh pineapple instead of frozen be sure to add some ice to the mixture. Enjoy!

That sounds so good! Wish I had some coconut milk lying around. lol I have frozen fruits in the freezer.
Hey mommytoJack,
We have plenty of coconut milk on hand, but no frozen pineapples. Want to make a trade?
It does sound so delicious and refreshing!
I have all (two) of these ingredients, but last time I used the frozen pineapple in a smoothie, it gave the smoothie a really stringy texture. I think I need to buy a different brand and try again.
I didn’t have that problem when I made it…could it possibly be your blender? Maybe time for an upgrade?? Ours is nothing fancy (from Target), but just a thought…
Does it matter if you use sweetened or unsweetened coconut milk?? I am assuming you use unsweetened.
Yes…unsweetened!
my comments looks spammy but I was amaze with the article thanks for sharing.
Nice post! I seem like your blog, Thanks.
Does anyone have any good campfire food recipes?
What are some cake recipes that do not require milk?
I just made these smoothies and threw in a handful of spinach. I called it monster juice, my kids ate it super fast!!!
What brand of coconut milk do you use? I’ve seen a couple of different types, and I was just curious.
I honestly don’t buy it that much so I don’t have a specific brand I stick to, but I know it is sold both canned and refrigerated. I do try to buy it organic and whole (as opposed to reduced fat). I hope that helps!
[...] found this Virgin Pina Colada recipe over at 100 Days of Real Food and it is ah-mazing! Seriously! Unbelievably easy and SO delicious! Just 2 ingredients and a few [...]
Do you know how this freezes? I just got my silicone pop molds and this seems like a good recipe to use with them
We haven’t tried freezing this smoothie recipe yet, but it would probably work okay. Go for it!
when i made this i used unsweetened organic coconut milk but i could not taste the coconut at all so i added some more. still could not taste it. did i use the wrong type of coconut milk?
Hi Kelsey. Did you use the one in the can or the carton? I find the one in the carton is usually more watered down.
Where I live there is only one kind of coconut milk and it contains citric acid which I cannot eat so I usually use coconut flakes and water. Soak them for one night then drain the water,add the fresh pineapples with some ice and blend together.
I use some xylitol to it if it’s not so sweet. I really like it this way
This is great! Mine needed a hint of something sweet so I added just a touch honey. Delicious! In fact, I gave my son a sip and he drank almost all of mine. Thanks for all the great ideas.
