With only two simple ingredients, it couldn’t be any easier to make this Piña Colada Smoothie. Even if it is the dead of winter and the ground is covered with frost or snow, all it will take is one sip of this piña colada smoothie to remind you of the warmer weather that is yet to come.
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?

January 28, 2011 at 12:37 amHey 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!

January 28, 2011 at 2:50 amI 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.

January 31, 2011 at 2:12 amI 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…

January 28, 2011 at 3:36 pmDoes it matter if you use sweetened or unsweetened coconut milk?? I am assuming you use unsweetened.

November 26, 2011 at 12:42 pmWhat brand of coconut milk do you use? I’ve seen a couple of different types, and I was just curious.

December 2, 2011 at 10:41 pmI 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!

May 15, 2012 at 4:55 pmDo you know how this freezes? I just got my silicone pop molds and this seems like a good recipe to use with them

May 15, 2012 at 10:59 pmWe haven’t tried freezing this smoothie recipe yet, but it would probably work okay. Go for it!

May 21, 2012 at 10:46 amwhen 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?

May 21, 2012 at 9:04 pmHi Kelsey. Did you use the one in the can or the carton? I find the one in the carton is usually more watered down.

June 2, 2012 at 4:25 pmWhere 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 :)

January 18, 2014 at 3:42 pmThis 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.

March 21, 2014 at 12:51 amWow, 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:

June 9, 2016 at 11:54 amI 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?
