The Weight Loss Program (WLP) of healthy smoothies continues with this skinny pina colada, made lighter with coconut water instead of coconut milk – although you can use that if it will fit into your personal plan.
The recipe comes from Sally at SallysBakingAddiction. Check it out … I’m back now after drooling over some of Sally’s super recipes. i’ve bookmarked a few as I’ll have to lose the few pounds before trying any of them *sigh*
Anyway, back to Sally’s smoothie recipe. Sally wanted to escape the local dreary weather and remembering a Hawaii trip she tried a new recipe …
Into the blender went pineapple, banana, a little taste of coconut – I didn’t have high hopes for it because hello it’s a mocktail, but I was instantly proven wrong. Love at first sip. Out of the blender came the creamiest, most tasty banana and vanilla infused pineapple concoction on the planet. Hawaii in a glass.
Hawaii here we come!
