Ingredients You’ll Need
-
Frozen Fruits:
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 banana
Liquid and Dairy:
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
Sweeteners and Flavorings:
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes as needed
How to Make Strawberry Piña Colada Smoothie
Step 1: Load Up Your Blender
Start by adding the frozen strawberries, pineapple chunks, banana, coconut milk, pineapple juice, Greek yogurt, honey (if you like a little extra sweetness), and vanilla extract straight into a high-speed blender. The frozen fruit means you don’t need much ice for thickness—a bonus!
Step 2: Blend Until Dreamy
Whirl those gorgeous ingredients together until the mixture turns smooth, creamy, and beautifully pink. If you’re after a thicker, more spoonable smoothie, toss in a handful of ice cubes and blend again. Scrape down the sides if needed to make sure every last bit gets incorporated.
Step 3: Taste and Tweak
Give your Strawberry Piña Colada Smoothie a quick taste test. If your fruit wasn’t super sweet, drizzle in a tad more honey. Want it tangier? Add an extra spoonful of yogurt. There’s no wrong way—make it perfect for you!
Step 4: Pour and Enjoy
Once everything is smooth and you’re happy with the flavor, pour the smoothie into glasses. Serve immediately while it’s icy-cold for the freshest, most vibrant taste.
How to Serve Strawberry Piña Colada Smoothie

Garnishes
A finishing flourish transforms your Strawberry Piña Colada Smoothie from tasty to totally irresistible. Try a crown of whipped cream, a scatter of shredded coconut, a pineapple wedge on the rim, or even a few strawberry slices perched artfully on top. Little umbrellas are optional, but highly encouraged!
Side Dishes
This smoothie pairs perfectly with a light brunch spread. Think flaky croissants, a simple fruit salad, or even a toasted slice of coconut bread. It also makes a fantastic (and healthy!) accompaniment to granola-topped yogurt bowls or breakfast tacos for a twist.
Creative Ways to Present
Elevate your Strawberry Piña Colada Smoothie by serving it in chilled hurricane glasses or mason jars with colorful paper straws. For a party, pour smoothie shots into mini glasses and line them up on a tray with festive drink picks—guests will be delighted! You can even pour it into popsicle molds and freeze for refreshing, grab-and-go treats.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you’ve made more Strawberry Piña Colada Smoothie than you can finish, simply pop the extra into a jar or airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep fresh and delicious for up to 24 hours, though you may need to stir before serving as natural separation can occur.
Freezing
For longer storage, freeze leftover smoothie in individual portions using freezer-safe jars or silicone ice cube trays. Once frozen, the cubes can be blended again with a splash of coconut milk for a quick “smoothie on demand”—or enjoyed as slushy popsicles straight from the tray!
Reheating
Smoothies are best enjoyed cold, so instead of reheating, let any frozen smoothie portions thaw in the fridge or set them at room temperature for about 15–20 minutes. Give the mixture a quick stir or buzz it in the blender before serving to bring back that creamy texture.
FAQs
Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen in the Strawberry Piña Colada Smoothie?
Absolutely! If using fresh fruit, add a handful of ice cubes to achieve that frosty, thick consistency. Frozen fruit does double duty—chilling the smoothie and adding texture—but fresh in-season fruit offers unbeatable flavor.
Is there a way to make this smoothie vegan?
Yes, simply swap the Greek yogurt for your favorite non-dairy yogurt (like coconut or almond-based), and swap honey for maple syrup or agave, or skip the sweetener entirely if you like things less sweet.
Can I add protein powder to the Strawberry Piña Colada Smoothie?
Definitely! A scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder stirs right in and blends beautifully, making this smoothie an awesome option for post-workout refueling or a more filling breakfast.
What can I use if I don’t have coconut milk?
No coconut milk? No problem! Swap in regular milk, almond milk, oat milk, or any plant-based milk you have on hand. While coconut milk provides that classic tropical undertone, the smoothie will still be delicious, just slightly less “island-inspired.”
Can I turn this smoothie into a cocktail?
Absolutely! If you’d like a grown-up twist, add a splash of white rum before blending. Just remember to enjoy responsibly—this Strawberry Piña Colada Smoothie is a party starter, after all!
Final Thoughts
Give this Strawberry Piña Colada Smoothie a whirl the next time you’re craving something sunny, fresh, and a touch indulgent. It’s like a little retreat right from your own kitchen, and I can’t wait for you to taste these tropical flavors for yourself. Cheers to blending up bliss!
