(Virgin) Piña Colada Smoothie

Recipe: (Virgin) Piña Colada Smoothie from 100 Days of Real FoodSo 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?

  1. 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!

  2. 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.

  3. 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 :)

  4. 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.

  6. 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?

In case you missed it there was a conundrum on my Facebook page yesterday - after I learned my daughter was buying items in the school cafeteria I was unaware of - that spawned more than 3,000 comments (on both posts in total). I don't think I read every single one of the comments, but I did read most and noticed something very interesting. We've all heard the warning, "If you are too restrictive with your kids' food choices now, it will backfire later!" There may be some truth to that and I do personally strive for a "healthy" (and guilt-free) balance when my own kids want to indulge, BUT what I did notice yesterday - that was different than usual and that I really liked - were many of the following comments that REALLY struck a chord with me.
