Pina Colada Smoothie Recipe

I used this pina colada smoothie recipe for a last minute evening by the pool with neighbors. My friend Ola brought over her cordless blender and some cut up pineapple. I brought out the rest of the fruit and a coconut juice blend to serve as the liquid. The Breville cordless blender worked great and made it possible to make the smoothies out by the pool. I think I need to get one :)
Pineapple Smoothie Ingredients

For my fruit smoothies, I always use frozen fruit. Even the banana is peeled, sliced and put into little baggies and frozen. I don't use ice chips. I am a registered nurse with a special interest in nutrition so most of the smoothies I make are not only good tasting but also healthy. Ideally, it is better to buy frozen, organic fruit or fresh, organic fruit and freeze it.The coconut flavor came from this organic fresh pressed coconut fruit juice blend that I bought in the organic food section at the grocery store. It is called Lakewood Organic Fresh Pressed Coconut juice. But some other coconut milk would work as well.

My recipe for two servings:
2 Cups of Coconut Juice Blend
1 Cup of Frozen Mango Slices
1 Frozen Banana Sliced
1 Cup of Frozen Pineapple Chunks
Mix in your favorite blender until smooth and serve in chilled glasses with a fun tropical straw.
