Do you like Pina Coladas? Then you are going to love this Pina Colada smoothie recipe!
By the way, now the Pina Colada song will be playing in your head all day. God bless the 70’s … and you’re welcome.
As a girl who loves the song but once hated disliked pineapple, I lived most of my adult life living the lie that Pina Coladas were never to be my umbrella drink of choice.
A one week long cruise the Caribbean changed my mind DRASTICALLY when it comes to this creamy, tropical, spear some fruit with a paper umbrella and stick it in my glass gift from above… I have been converted!!!!
Fast forward to main land and reality … life is not a week long Caribbean cruise and 7:00 AM comes fast.
As previously discussed in my Meal Prep Breakfast Sandwiches post, my usual breakfast fare is still a cheese stick and an XL coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts.
However, my well established and obviously well thought out breakfast routine is taking a back seat to this Tropical Pineapple Coconut Smoothie… and yours will too!
WHY THIS TROPICAL PINA COLADA SMOOTHIE IS THE BEST
- This coconut smoothie tastes just like a Pina Colada without the rum. Most places of employment frown upon their staff showing up to work in the morning intoxicated … plan accordingly 🙂
- Making breakfast smoothie recipes at home helps you avoid the fast food drive thru.
- This is an easy breakfast on the go and smoothie recipes with yogurt help you stay satisfied longer.
- Greek yogurt has tons of protein so you won’t get hungry.
- When it comes to easy healthy smoothie recipes, why not make it with flavors you love?
- It’s made with just three ingredients!
- This pineapple coconut smoothie has no extra added sugars.
To make this tropical coconut smoothie, you will need:
- Pineapple
- Coconut milk

- Ice
HOW TO MAKE PINA COLADA SMOOTHIES
Add pineapple, yogurt, milk and ice to a blender and and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
Yup, it’s a quick one!
PRO TIPS FOR SMOOTHIES AT HOME
- Use any coconut flavored yogurt you like. I personally love the Dannon Light and Fit Toasted Coconut Vanilla Yogurt but grab whatever you prefer.
- Breakfast smoothie recipes should not be complicated. Don’t have coconut milk, use regular milk, skim milk, almond milk as a tasty substitute.
- Want to add even more creaminess and a bump of nutrition? Add in half of banana for extra flavor and creaminess. Don’t worry, the tropical flavor of your smoothie won’t be overpowered by banana flavor.
- Throw your pineapple chunks in the freeze ahead of time and use less ice for a more concentrated pineapple flavor.
- If you have any coconut water on hand, fill up an ice cube tray and freeze until solid. Add your coconut ice cubes to your blended smoothie for extra coconut flavor.
- If you looking to limit your sugar intake, be sure you use unsweetened coconut milk and unsweetened frozen pineapple chunks for this recipe. Look for them at local health food or natural food supermarkets.

Looks so good. Pineapple is the best, thanks for sharing
Thank you Keith!!
Beautiful pictures! Lovely pineapple straw! and yes, I have “that song” running thru my head now. LOL
Thanks for posting this recipe. I’ve recently purchase some cans of coconut milk and have been trying to figure out how to use it. This will be my first go with the “new milk”.
Noel, you know it’s going to be a good day when you have a 1979 hum-dinger of a song like that REPEATING in your head 🙂 I’ve been trying to find new ways to use coconut milk too and adding the canned milk into this recipe would be outstanding. I used the non-dairy refrigerated kind because I didn’t have any of the canned milk on hand. What a wonderful upgrade!!!
