Pro Tips for the Best Strawberry Pina Colada Smoothie

Want to elevate your smoothie game? Here are a few tricks I’ve picked up:

Always use frozen fruit! It’s the secret to a thick, frosty smoothie without diluting the flavor with ice.
Don’t over-blend. Once everything is smooth and combined, stop. Over-blending can warm up the smoothie and make it less creamy.
Taste and adjust. Your fruit might be sweeter or tarter than mine, so a quick taste before serving helps you nail the perfect sweetness and tang.
For an extra tropical kick, try adding a splash of lime juice or a pinch of shredded coconut.

What’s the secret to a perfect Strawberry Pina Colada Smoothie?

The secret to the best Strawberry Pina Colada Smoothie is using frozen strawberries and ripe pineapple. This combination creates a thick, creamy texture without needing too much ice, which can water down the flavor. Using full-fat coconut milk also adds to that luxurious, creamy feel.

Can I make Strawberry Pina Colada Smoothie ahead of time?

While best enjoyed immediately, you can prep components ahead. Freeze your fruit in pre-portioned bags.
