Description

This Skinny Pina Colada recipe offers a refreshing, tropical twist on the classic cocktail, using light coconut milk and natural sweeteners for a healthier, lower-calorie option. Perfect for those looking to enjoy a creamy, fruity drink without the extra guilt, this blend combines frozen pineapple, unsweetened pineapple juice, and white rum into a smooth, delicious beverage.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup light coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 1 1/2 ounces white rum
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup ice


Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: Add the frozen pineapple chunks, light coconut milk, unsweetened pineapple juice, white rum, optional honey or agave syrup, and ice into a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend until smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no large ice or pineapple pieces left.
  3. Adjust sweetness: Taste the blended drink and add more honey or agave syrup if you prefer it sweeter; blend briefly again if additional sweetener is added.
  4. Serve: Pour the pina colada into a chilled glass for optimal refreshment.
  5. Garnish and enjoy: Optionally garnish with a pineapple wedge or cherry to enhance presentation. Serve immediately to enjoy at its best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and replace it with additional pineapple juice.
  • Use coconut water instead of coconut milk for an even lighter drink.
  • Using frozen pineapple instead of ice will create a creamier texture.
