How to make a pina colada smoothie

Making this pina colada smoothie couldn’t be easier. Simply toss all your ingredients into a the blender, and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. 

As I mentioned, this recipe is protein-packed!

It can be made with either protein powder or hemp hearts. Personally, I prefer using hemp hearts since they are a wholefood ingredient, and are a great source of protein. In fact, 3 tablespoons of hemp hearts has 9.5 grams of protein! Hemp hearts are made up of healthy fats, and adds a delicious nutty flavour to the smoothie. 

Or, if you prefer, you can use a vanilla protein powder instead. Check out this article from Women’s Health for some good brand recommendations. Keep in mind, if you’re using a vanilla protein powder, it’s likely that the protein powder contains sugar. So you might like to forgo the date in this recipe, unless you like your smoothies really sweet.

Prep Time 5 minutes minutes

Total Time 2 minutes minutes

Serves 2 people

Ingredients

• 3 cups frozen pineapple
• 1 cup frozen banana
• 1 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (1/4 cup more if desired)
• 4 tbsp hemp hearts (or 1 scoop vanilla protein powder)
• 2 tbsp shredded coconut
• pinch turmeric (optional for bolder colour)

Instructions

• Toss all the ingredients in a high speed blender and blend on low until smooth, 1 to 3 minutes. Optional to use splashed more almond milk to thin if desired.

  (If using protein powder: forgo adding the date, unless you like it very sweet. Most protein powders contain sugar).

Notes

This recipe is extra-thick! And can be enjoyed as a smoothie or smoothie bowl with toppings like fresh pineapple, banana and granola. 

If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add splashes more almond milk until you've reached desired consistency. This is also helpful if you don't have a high-speed blender for easier blending.
