One sip of this creamy tropical smoothie and you're on a beach sipping an umbrella drink. Packed with healthy fats to keep you full, it's the perfect keto meal replacement.
Pina coladas are a summer icon. There’s nothing like sinking your toes in the sand while sipping on a frozen pineapple coconut slushie. When I want that tropical taste first thing in the morning, a blended cocktail at 7am isn’t exactly appropriate. That’s where this pina colada smoothie comes in. You get all the frothy tropical flavor without the alcohol, pineapple, or pineapple juice.
This mocktail works anytime and actually counts as a healthy low-carb meal because it’s loaded with healthy fats from the coconut milk to keep you energized and focused. Unlike recipes that use pineapple, banana, or added sugars, this keto smoothie uses sugar-free sweetener and pina colada extract for all the flavor with zero sugar.

Can I use regular yogurt instead of low-carb plain yogurt?
Yes! Regular yogurt works fine, but watch the sugar and calories.
What can I substitute for canned unsweetened coconut milk?
Almond milk or any non-dairy milk works for a lighter smoothie, but the flavor changes. For richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk.
How long can I store the leftover smoothie in the fridge?
Enjoy it fresh, but leftovers keep in the fridge up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.
Is there a way to make this smoothie dairy-free?
Yes! Swap for coconut, almond, or cashew yogurt.
Can I add more fruits to this smoothie?
Sure! Add banana, pineapple, or mango for extra flavor. This adds carbs and changes the texture.
Used canned full-fat coconut cream instead of coconut milk (just what I had) and it came out SO thick and rich, almost like a milkshake. Added a little extra pina colada extract and it really punched up the tropical flavor. Perfect escape on a gray February afternoon.
Coconut cream makes it almost dessert-thick. I reach for it when I want it to feel more like a shake than a smoothie.
Used plain Greek yogurt instead of low-carb yogurt and it still worked fine. Little tangier but I liked it.
The tanginess probably plays really well with the pineapple. I do that sometimes too when I'm out of the low-carb stuff.
