Pineapple & Coconut Smoothie is a delicious and healthy smoothie with the addition of banana, vanilla and coconut water finished off with a sprig of mint!
Today I’m bringing you my Pineapple & Coconut Smoothie!
Once Christmas is over we all tend to think about getting back to healthier eating and exercise. So it was very timely that JD Sports asked me to come up with a healthy Smoothie recipe to celebrate the launch of their new Pink Soda Sports brand for women!
I developed this Pineapple & Coconut Smoothie which is simply delicious and a great way to stay hydrated! Packed full of vitamins and minerals it would make a great post-workout drink.
Pineapple is an excellent source of manganese and Vitamin C, bananas are high in Vitamin B6, and coconut water is a good source of potassium and is refreshing and hydrating.

Fiona @ London-Unattached
I’m with Kavey! I’m all for adding a little rum. But, it does look like a very refreshing and light smoothie – sometimes they are just way too gloopy for me (is that a word?)
Camilla
Ok Fiona, have some rum but maybe not after one of your runs LOL:-)
Nadine-Johanna Stewart
Wow! This looks delicious. Reminds me a bit of Pina Colada. Yummy!

Thanks Nadine, yes it would be a great non-alcoholic take on a Pina Colada:-)

This sounds absolutely delicious and refreshing!
Camilla

Ana De- Jesus
This sounds heavenly I love a good smoothie and pineapple is full of anti-oxidants that are good for your joints and muscles. Apparently it is meant to help if you have back problems which is good for me as I have back problems.
Camilla
Thanks Ana:-) Pineapple is also good for sore throats I remember hearing Michael van Stratten saying once on LBC radio due to the enzymes in it:-) Not heard about it being good for back problems, in which case I should be eating it daily LOL!
Sarah Bailey
Oh yum this sounds absolutely delicious, what a nice mix of ingredients for a smoothie. x
Camilla
Thank you Sarah:-)
Gingey Bites
I agree with Kavey, definitely pina colada territory! Teehee…
Camilla
Pina Banana maybe LOL:-)
Nadia's Healthy Kitchen
Sounds delicious and refreshing 🙂 I have seen coconut milk powder before and was tempted to buy some, but then couldn’t think of what to do with it. Adding it to smoothies is a great idea 😀
Camilla
I love coconut milk powder and mainly use it for curries but it worked really well in this smoothie too:-)
Pam Francis Gregory
Ooh looks lovely!
Diana
This looks very refreshing! I love the combination of pineapple and coconut!
Camilla
Thanks Diana, there’s even some banana in there too:-)

Camilla
Thanks Bintu, it is lush:-)
Kavey
Classic combo, love it, though I confess that my mind wanders to pina colada!
Camilla
Yes mine did a bit too Kavey, would make a great non-alcoholic Pina Colada style cocktail for New Year’s Eve:-)
