FAQ

Does this smoothie contain alcohol?

No. This is a non-alcoholic Piña Colada–inspired smoothie, making it perfect for all ages.

Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?

Yes, but it’s best enjoyed fresh. You can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake or stir before drinking.

Can I use fresh pineapple instead of frozen?

Yes. Fresh pineapple works well, but adding ice helps keep the smoothie cold and thick.

Is this smoothie healthy?

Yes. It’s made with whole fruit and healthy fats from coconut, making it naturally sweet, refreshing, and satisfying.

Can I add protein?

Absolutely. Vanilla protein powder or Greek yogurt (if not dairy-free) blends in easily without overpowering the tropical flavor.
