Would you believe me if I told you that this smoothie tastes just like a piΓ±a colada?
Well, it does. I know it sounds crazy, but you can’t even taste the spinach! You taste coconut and pineapple. It is such a treat and a regular I love to make as a snack after church, for breakfast, or in between lunch and dinner.
The inspiration for this recipe came in the BlendTec cookbook, but it calls for actual coconut meat. IΒ neverΒ have that on hand. So, it’s been modified to fit what I usually have in my kitchen.

Ooh, what I wouldn’t give for one of those fancy BlendTec contraptions — this looks awesome!
The husband totally scored on that birthday gift! Although it was kind of a gift for both of us…:)
