A pina colada is one of my top 5 libations. Sadly, they are also one of the top 5 most fattening cocktails. So I grabbed a pineapple, did a little research and found the taste of the summer concoction without the calories. It’s the perfect recipe for a skinny pina colada! It is still a top summer drink, it just smells and tastes like the beach! Now you can enjoy it without any guilt.
Fun fact: The Pina Colada was first served in San Juan, Puerto Rico in a Hilton bar in 1954. It actually means “strained pineapple.” We’re going to substitute the strained for frozen in my version.
Skinny Pina Colada Recipe:
2 Shots Malibu
2 cups frozen pineapple, needs to be frozen
1/2 cup coconut water
1 cup ice
Optional: 1/2 banana, Dark rum floater
Blend and serve!
theCollarfind Tip: Your pineapple needs to be frozen. I used VitaCoco water with pineapple. Friends went back for seconds and thirds, so you may want to double it! If you want a stronger flavor, use less ice, but you use a little of the frozen factor. You can add a banana if you desire as well for extra creaminess. And feel free to add a floater of dark rum, that’s always a tasty addition!
Garnish with a cherry and enjoy! Hope you enjoy this low cal summer cocktail as much as I do! For more cocktail fun, https://thecollarfind.com/category/food/. For more good finds, follow me on Instagram and Pinterest!
