Pina Colada Berry Smoothie
Whip up this fruity smoothie for tomorrow’s breakfast! Pineapple, coconut, and mixed berries come together for this frosty, non-alcoholic pina colada treat.
With all the donuts, muffins, scones, and waffles you see on this blog, I’m sure you’re probably imagining that my breakfasts are mostly of the sweet and indulgent variety. But truly, there’s no breakfast I crave more than a freshly whipped smoothie.
Even on the weekends, when there’s more time to relax and putter in the kitchen, smoothies are still my go-to. I just love how they fill me up without weighing me down, and they’re so nutritious. And there are just so many different directions you can go with a smoothie!
I go through smoothie flavor phases, and they’re usually influenced by the season. And right now, as a newly converted coconut-lover, this is my number one favorite!
The tropical pineapple and coconut flavors contrast so well with the sweet, slightly tart berries! And I love adding frozen banana, it makes it so thick and cold, without watering it down like ice would.
Greek yogurt makes it creamy, and I also love adding a little bit of oats, just to bulk it up and make it more satisfying. They don’t really add much flavor, but they do bring a lot of healthy fiber and antioxidants.
This is my breakfast of choice, for Mother’s Day and any other day of the week! Give it a try, I have a feeling you are going to love it too!

I’m all about the smoothies lately – definitely will be trying out this combo! And such gorgeous photos – I love that pink background and how it really pops against the white!
Thanks Ashley! I was actually really on-the-fence about the pink background. It’s out of my comfort zone! But I’m glad to know you thought it worked 😉 Thanks for the great feedback and I hope you’re having a great week so far!
I’m a recent convert of putting oats in my smoothies. I am just in love with the texture. So guess what, we totally had a winter storm this past weekend! Isn’t that the saddest thing ever?! Am I still allowed to make a a cool and refreshing smoothie even though it’s 30 degrees outside!? Please say yes. I’m having the wintertime blues :(. I hope you had a great weekend, Allie! xo
Oh no! How is that possible? In May??? I feel for ya, girl… and yes, you can still have smoothies! I sipped smoothies all winter long 😉 Stay warm, sweetie!
