Why We Love This Strawberry Piña Colada Smoothie

I’m a huge fan of piña colada flavored anything – the combination of pineapple and coconut is just heavenly!

I wanted to combine my love of piña colada with strawberry and it turned out so delicious!

The kids and I keep going back to this one as it has a wonderful flavor and is great straight out of the blender or frozen as smoothie pops!

Ingredients in Our Healthy Piña Colada Smoothie Recipe

This healthy pina colada smoothie contains only a few simple ingredients with no added sugar, and it’s gluten free and dairy free!

Pineapple

Pineapples are great sources of Vitamin C and manganese. They also contain bromelain, an enzyme that has anti-inflammatory properties.

They also lend a natural sweetness and tropical flavor to smoothies.

You can use fresh, canned, or frozen pineapple chunks in this recipe. I use fresh when they are on sale and frozen pineapple the rest of the year (or when I don’t feel like cutting up a fresh pinapple!).

Strawberry

Not only are strawberries delicious, but they’re also packed with nutrients like Vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants.

They also give a wonderful pink tint to our smoothie and a unique flavor with the pineapple and coconut.

Banana

Bananas are a great source of potassium and dietary fiber. They are a smoothie staple because they give a wonderful texture and sweetness to any smoothie.

The banana provides creaminess and body to the smoothie. I like to use over ripe bananas for sweeter smoothies, but you can use less ripe bananas if you prefer a less sweet smoothie.

I use a frozen banana for the creamiest results.

Coconut Chunks or Shredded Coconut

Coconut gives our smoothie a lovely coconut flavor. You can use fresh, frozen or dried coconut in this recipe.

If you’re using fresh or frozen coconut, I recommend using chunks or shreds for the best flavor and texture.

I like to put some coconut flakes on top for garnish, too.

Coconut Milk

I like to use full-fat canned coconut milk in this recipe as it gives the smoothest and creamiest texture. You can use coconut milk from a carton if you prefer, but it will make for a thinner smoothie.

How to Make Our Strawberry Piña Colada Smoothie Recipe

This pina colada smoothie recipe is so easy to make! Simply add all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

If you’re using fresh pineapple and strawberries, I recommend adding a few ice cubes to the blender for a colder smoothie.

If your smoothie is too thick, add a little more coconut milk, coconut water or even pineapple juice until it reaches your desired consistency.
