Ultra-Creamy Piña Colada Smoothie (No Banana, No Ice!)

If you love a creamy piña colada smoothie but don’t love bananas, or the way ice turns everything into flavoured slush - this one’s for you! This tropical smoothie is blended with frozen pineapple for natural sweetness and chill, full-fat Greek yoghurt for richness, a touch of honey and vanilla and luscious coconut cream in place of coconut milk for something a little more indulgent.

Notes

Customisation Ideas

Make it vegan

Swap the Greek yoghurt for a thick plant-based option. Coconut or almond yoghurt both work beautifully.

Then, replace the honey with maple syrup, agave, or any vegan-friendly liquid sweetener you like.

Add a protein boost

Add in a scoop of your favourite vanilla protein powder for a post-workout pick-me-up.

Turn it into a smoothie bowl

Pour it into a bowl and go wild with toppings: Granola, fresh pineapple chunks, coconut flakes and chopped macadamias are all excellent.
