Sip on This: Poppin' Pineapple Pina Colada

Sip on This
 
My Poppin' Pineapple Pina Colada is a healthy virgin alternative to the original island treat!  Okay, I know pineapple and pina are the same thing, but the double dose of pineapple in this thirst buster demands the repetition!  This drink is sweet, cool, refreshing and packed with Vitamin C, potassium, manganese, iron, copper, B vitamins and loads of fiber. To top it off, the ingredients offer healthy fats (if you choose to add coconut milk), electrolytes (if you opt for the coconut water), anti-inflammatory benefits and a boost to the immune system. All of that and it's absolutely delicious to boot! Try it for yourself! 
 
YUMMY!!!!!!
1-2 cups of frozen pineapple
1/2 cup fresh pineapple
1/2 frozen or fresh banana (I prefer frozen)
1/4-1/2 cup of shredded organic coconut
Soy and/or coconut milks OR coconut water with pineapple
 
Toss ingredients into a high-powered blender or emulsifier and gradually increase to the highest speed.  Slowly pour soy and/or coconut milks or coconut water with pineapple (try Vita Coco Coconut Water with Pineapple, pictured below) into the top of the blender until the desired consistency is reached (I recently tried making this with the pineapple coconut water and it was pretty tasty, but I prefer soy milk.). 


 
Pour in your favorite glass, toss in a paper umbrella, put your feet up and ENJOY! You'll absolutely love it!
