After seeing a tweet from Luna & Larry’s about putting coconut ice cream in a smoothie, I knew something similar had to be done in my kitchen. And soon.
Pi̱a coladas instantly came to mind Рanything to bring up memories of beaches, sand and cocktails in the morning in the midst of the winter sounds heavenly and I can almost smell the salt water. This is definitely a healthier version, without the sugar, calories and of course the rum (which makes for not such a fun and relaxing drink) but one I can feel good about drinking at 10 AM on a Sunday.
Piña Colada Smoothie:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/3 cup coconut ice cream
- 2 drops Vanilla Cream stevia

Thank you for sharing the recipe for this amazing and healthy twist on what is usually a calorie laden cocktail! Looks perfect for sipping midday during the hot summer months.

I am not a smoothie person at all, so imagine my surprise that I’ve actually had two this week! I have no idea what is going on, but I’ve been craving them like crazy after my runs this week. I’ve been going for the greens and frozen berries, but I can definitely see this one fitting in. Yum.
