Notes
- Tip: The coconut milk can become separated in the can. Make sure you combine it thoroughly with a whisk before using it in the smoothie.
- Note: The nutrition information does not include the coconut rim because it is optional and difficult to determine the amount used on each glass.
- Alcohol option: Maybe you are looking to serve this smoothie in the evening while gathering with friends as an alternative to the drink. While you can spike it with some white rum or coconut rum if you really want, this piña colada smoothie doesn't contain any alcohol as written.
