Tropical Smoothie
It has been one hot summer here in southeast Texas.
Yes, we did have quite a bit of rain last month which kept us inside and cool but lately it’s just been hot and humid.
There’s nothing I like better than cool, refreshing drinks this time of the year and lately, smoothies have been on the menu.
When the weather is hot, smoothies are our breakfast or snack of choice.
Smoothies are healthy, they taste great and they are perfect to serve guests at outdoor get-togethers. I also love that smoothies are filling and aren’t loaded with unnecessary sugars.

How To Make A Tropical Smoothie
This new smoothie recipe has been our favorite smoothie so far.
It’s super easy to make and can be ready in 5 minutes! It’s healthy, it’s filling, and it’s absolutely delicious.
Ingredients In A Tropical Smoothie (Pina Colada Smoothie)
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks (you can also use fresh)
- 1 banana
- 6 ounces vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup coconut milk (you can also use regular milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- whipped cream (optional)
In a blender, combine the pineapple, banana, yogurt, milk, and honey. Puree until smooth.
Pour into glasses.
Garnish with whipped cream, if desired.
I like to use frozen pineapple but fresh will work great too. Just add 1/2 cup of ice cubes to the blender if you’re using fresh pineapple.

I have never used Coconut milk, what section of the Grocery Store do you find this. This sounds so delish. Thanks!
Hi Peggy,
You can find coconut milk in the refrigerator section of the grocery store. It should be near the cow’s milk and soy milks. You can actually use any type of milk in this recipe but I happen to love the flavor the coconut milk adds to it.
Joanie
Did you use coconut milk in the can or carton?
Hi Wanda, I used coconut milk in the carton.
Just made to celebrate Ferragosto day here in Italy! So good and refreshing! Thanks and ciao!
Loving all the flavors in this smoothie. Especially loving that it’s only sweetened with honey. I’m here in TX too and this looks like a tasty way to cool down!
I have all the ingredients except the whipped cream. I’m making this!
These look so refreshing! I love pina coladas! Pinning for later 😉
This looks so good and we are making it this weekend. (Pinned)
Even for KS, its been warm lately! I mean like high 90’s and heat index well into the 100’s! I can’t think of any better way to cool off than with this pina colada smoothie!
This smoothie looks like to perfect drink to cool down with on these hot summer days!
Pina Coladas are the bomb! This is a great recipe! Would be so great as a virgin, too!! Thank you for sharing!
These look perfect after an afternoon at the pool!
That pina colada one is right up my alley!
That looks delicious, and not too terribly unhealthy either!
Thanks, Angie. It’s totally healthy.
This looks so delicious but also healthy – love it!
Thank you, Kate!
It was so humid here today that this would’ve been such a refreshing treat! Good thing tomorrow’s weather is more of the same so I can enjoy one then!
It’s been a super hot summer, Melanie and the humidity is what makes it feel even worse. Hope we get some relief soon. Thanks!
This sounds delish!!!
Thanks, Michelle!
This sounds so refreshing!
Thanks, Amy. It really is 🙂
I’m slightly north of you up in Northeast Texas and yes, hot and HUMID! Bleh. This pina colada smoothie looks like the perfect cure to those hot summer days!
Yes, you know exactly what I’m talking about then. Texas summers can be brutal. The smoothie is totally refreshing, filling and good for you too. Thanks so much, Amber!
This is the perfect summer smoothie! I could use one right now on my back porch to enjoy the afternoon!
Thank you, Julia!
I’m love everything about this recipe, pineapple and coconut. Yum!
Thank you so much, Michelle. I love the flavors too.
Here in Canada, the weather has become super hot, even though like you we had our fair share of rain. I think I will relax with this smoothie any day, but especially during this hot wave of temperatures!
I was just in Calgary last week for the Stampede and it was warmer than I expected – much less humid though. I think I could probably go for a smoothie just about anytime.
I love this blend! I’ve used a coconut yogurt for pina colada smoothies – delish!
Coconut yogurt is a great idea, Alisa. I’ll give that a try next time. Thanks!
I love smoothies and this Pina Colada one sounds perfect. A delicious, no guilt treat!
Those are the best treats, Judy. Thank you.
