Pina Colada Smoothie
This healthy and refreshing pina colada smoothie will transport you to a tropical island with each sip. Ready in 5 minutes, it’s loaded with delicious and nutritious ingredients.
Feel like being transported to a tropical island without leaving your home? Whip up this pina colada smoothie for a cool, refreshing treat! Unlike traditional pina coladas, this simple smoothie is made with no added sugar, whole food ingredients, and is actually nutritious!
This pina colada smoothie has the classic pineapple and coconut flavor profile of the frozen cocktail, but with some bonus nutrition-packed ingredients.
As a Registered Dietitian, I love making healthy smoothies with vegetables, because they add such a boost of nutrition. There’s a whole cup of frozen cauliflower in this pina colada smoothie – but I promise you won’t taste it.
To make this smoothie, simply add everything to a blender and blend it up until smooth and creamy! This recipe makes two smoothies, so pour it into two cups and enjoy. I love to sip it with bamboo or metal straws and garnish with a slice of fresh pineapple.
Want to try more smoothies with cauliflower? Make my chocolate cherry smoothie, pineapple matcha smoothie, or almond butter and jelly smoothie!

- If you don’t have hemp seeds, try chia seeds, cashews, or a scoop of plain or vanilla protein powder.
- You can make this smoothie with full fat coconut milk instead of light coconut milk.
- If you don’t want to add frozen cauliflower, swap it out for a cup of ice. You can also swap another smoothie-friendly vegetable like spinach or zucchini, but the color will change.
- If you want to make this smoothie into a pina colada cocktail, you can certainly add rum!
