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!

Oh golly, this smoothie looks good! If I could wake up to one of those every morning I think I'd bounce out of bed! Will have to trry.
So funny, Jessica- I really have been! I can't wait to sip this yummy treat for breakfast lately. I'm so glad you liked my favorite smoothie recipe! Thanks so much for stopping by and for the sweet comment 😉
This smoothie looks great! Berries and coconut are my favorite smoothie flavors. I've never tried oats in a smoothie - going to do that soon!! Happy Mother's Day!
Thanks Cate! I love oats in my smoothie, they just make it so much more filling and satisfying. Hope you enjoyed the holiday weekend; thanks for the sweet comment! <3
What a great name ... pina colada smoothie! I'm seeing a few oat smoothies like this around lately and am definitely getting sold on the idea of giving one a go ... especially with strawberry season just coming in. Lovely!
Definitely try it- the oats don't change the taste much at all but they just bulk up the smoothie a bit and make it more filling. I always add a couple tablespoons, it's great! Thanks so much for the sweet comment, my dear, and I hope your week is off to a great start!
Allie, this is going to be the best breakfast! I'm planning on making this next week. Putting the items on my list. It just looks so berry-licious! Hope your weekend is filled with so much joy!
You are such a sweetie, Gloria! I hope your weekend was wonderful too. Enjoy your smoothies this week! 😉
This looks so, so good Allie! A pina colada smoothie is like the best smoothie recipe ever! I would so enjoy this for breakfast! 🙂 Hope your having a great weekend!
Thank you, my dear! The weekend was wonderful- hope yours was too! I'm so glad you like my favorite smoothie recipe; I seriously CRAVE it every day!
True that! Smoothies are incredible for filling you up without making you feel so full. With all the heavy sweet breads and breakfast foods going around, this is a fantastic option! And it is so pretty. I like adding a smidge of oats too - more fill me up! Have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend Allie!
Thanks Mary Frances! The holiday weekend was so nice- I hope yours was too. I thought the same thing, I'm guilty of posting lots of super-indulgent recipes here but really I love a much lighter breakfast. I'm so glad you liked it! Have a great week, sweetie!
This is such a gorgeous smoothie Allie! I love all the tropical flavors in here - especially all the coconut and pineapples - yum! Hope you have an incredible weekend and Mother's Day 🙂
Thank you sweetie! My Mother's Day was perfect- I hope yours was too! Thanks so much for the sweet compliments about my favorite smoothie recipe 😀
Ugh. (Yes I actually just audibly ugh'ed) This looks SO good.
I'm a bit of a smoothie addict. I love love love green tea smoothies made with yogurt and banana! I was even thinking about whipping one up for myself earlier, but didn't have everything readily available. Naturally, I saw this and now I'm drooling all over myself and my stomach is growling.
To the grocery store I go!
I am a TOTAL smoothie addict. Seriously. Every morning, and sometimes again in the afternoon. I keep meaning to brew up some green tea to use- I really gotta do that. I hope you enjoy this one, Graham!
I had the worst craving for a smoothie this morning but I didn't want the same boring ones I always have. I wish I had seen this earlier!! Well, I know what I'll be having for breakfast tomorrow 🙂 (PS: Pinning this to remind myself to make it often!)
Thanks for the pin, Nora! I hope you enjoy the smoothie, I just can't get enough of it! xoxo
This smoothie looks so delicious, Allie! I can't get enough of smoothies right now, and I'm loving the sound of that pina colada flavor!
Oh ya, I love the pina colada with the berries. It's so good! Thanks so much Marcie!
I made a really boring smoothie today and now I wish I saw this recipe before I made mine! Oh well, there's always tomorrow. My little guy will love this one. Have a great weekend!
Thanks Matt! I hope you and your little guy enjoy 😀
Ok this is the most gorgeous smoothie I've seen!!! Yumm! You know my coconut-loving self will be all over this soon.
I had a feeling you'd like this one! Hope you had a great weekend, my dear! xoxo
That is seriously one gorgeous smoothie!
Thanks Jocelyn! I'm so into those flavors lately... 😀
I love smoothies. This looks like a perfect one to begin the day.
Strawberries just have a way of making everything splendid!
Have a wonderful weekend Allie!
Thanks Melanie! I'm so addicted to this smoothie, I can hardly wait to wake up in the morning so I can make it!
Oooh, that sounds delicious! So many summertime flavors!
