Now that the holidays are over, and the January cold is settling in, it is the perfect time for a sunny taste of the tropics. This delicious pina colada smoothie has all of the rich, creamy flavor of everyone’s favorite beach cocktail but is loaded with healthy, anti-inflammatory ingredients that nourish the body rather than depleting it. Plus when it is -15 and snowy outside, we all crave beach fix; fortunately, this little glass of sunshine is just 5 minutes away.
Pina Colada Smoothie
1 medium ripe banana
1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple
1/2-3/4C raw coconut milk
1Tb raw hemp hearts
1/4 tsp Ground Vanilla Bean Powder
Combine all ingredients into a high-speed blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, pour into your favorite pretty glass and add a bright fun drink umbrella and a wedge of fresh pineapple. Enjoy!
