Anyway, I don’t really need an excuse to celebrate the Pina Colada, but since it is National Pina Colada day, I thought I would give you a fun and delicious smoothie to quench your thirst and cure your craving for the ultimate tropical drink.

Obviously this is non-alcoholic, but I guess if you wanted to add a little rum or something else, have at it.
While this smoothie has plenty of ingredients, it isn’t difficult to make at all.
Look at all that fruity deliciousness! Omg!

I freeze my herbs to use later, which makes them GREAT for adding to smoothies. Just drop a handful of frozen basil cubes and you’re ready to go. If you don’t freeze your basil, that’s ok, just add a couple of pinches of finely minced basil and a cup of regular ice cubes. Easy peasy substitution!
Oh, I also freeze bananas because frozen bananas are PERFECT for smoothies.

Blueberry Basil Banana Pina Colada Smoothie
Ingredients
- ½ cup blueberries
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 20 ounces pineapple chunks with juice
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil finely minced
- 1 medium banana peeled
- 1 cup ice see note
Instructions
- In a blender, puree the blueberries, coconut milk, pineapple chunks AND their juice and the coconut manna (or unsweetened coconut) until smooth.
- If you are using frozen herb ice cubes, drop in 2-4 cubes. If you are using fresh basil, drop in 2 tablespoons.
- Add 1 frozen banana (unless using fresh) and blend until smooth. (if using non-frozen banana – add 1 cup of ice and blend until smooth).
- I did not add anything else to sweeten because the banana is sweet enough, but if you need something more, add 1 tablespoon of honey and blend.
