Pina Colada Smoothies

Make your own smoothie “kits” and keep them in your freezer so a piña colada is always just a few seconds away.Thank you I Heart Nap Time



1 can of crushed pineapple in real juice
2 small cartons of vanilla greek yogurt {Toasted coconut vanilla is delicious in this if your local grocery store carries it!}
1 can of sweetened coconut milk
milk

  • Create your smoothie "kits" by making yogurt and pineapple ice cubes. 
  • Spoon your yogurt and pineapple {juice and all} into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid. 
  • You should get 6 yogurt cubes from each container of yogurt and 18-21 pineapple cubes out of your can.
  • Once the cubes are frozen, place 4 yogurt cubes and 6 or 7 pineapple cubes into a freezer bag. You'll get 3 smoothie "kits" out of this recipe and each kit makes 2 smoothies.


  • Dump the contents of one "kit" into your blender. 
  • Add 2/3 cup of sweetened coconut milk and 1 cup of regular milk. If you can't find sweetened coconut milk, just stir some sugar into your regular coconut milk until it is as sweet as you like. 
  • Blend until smooth, adding a little extra milk if it's too thick, and serve.
