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!

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.

Wow, this is a super simple recipe for pina colada. I’ve got to try it. Another suggestion would be to add a bit of passion fruit puree – then it’s a Hawaiian Lava Flow. Yum!
I’ve also got a super simple tutorial on how to make your own coconut milk:

I have been trying to find a recipe that I could use bananas. And the coconut I got is cream of coconut. And I have fresh frozen pineapple and of course fresh bananas. Since I’m making it just for me in my magic bullet. How would I divide that up instead of like one and a half or whatever. it is for the coconut juice or coconut milk?

Hi there. I’m not quite sure what you are asking?
