Pina Colada Smoothie Bowl
Have you ever been given one of those drink vouchers, usually at a hotel in a tropical location, meant to get you in the vacay spirit? I love those! One voucher I was given could only be used for a pina colada and it didn’t take long for me and this fun fruity island drink to become fast friends.
The pina colada which literally translates to “strained pineapple” is a cocktail traditionally made with coconut, pineapple, and white rum. This breakfast-friendly smoothie bowl version is made with coconut milk, frozen pineapple, and my favorite sneaky vegetable, cauliflower. The frozen fruit and veggies act like ice, making for a sweet and creamy smoothie bowl that is refreshing, healthy, and utterly delicious.
This is one smoothie bowl that will transport you from breakfast mode into vacation mode!

Method for making Pina Colada Smoothie Bowl
Step 1:
1. For extra creaminess, thaw your cauliflower slightly before blending by letting it sit on the counter while you gather your other ingredients. Then add the bananas, coconut milk, and extract to a blender container, followed by the frozen cauliflower and pineapple chunks.
Step 2:
2. Securely attach the lid to your container and blend until creamy, starting at low speed and working up to medium speed. You may have to stop and scrape down the sides of the container or use the tamper (with a Vitamix) to push the food down and around toward the blade. This will take about a minute or more, depending on what type of blender you are using.
Step 3:
3. Scoop the creamy, mixture, which will be the consistency of a thick slushy, into 2 or 3 bowls and top with coconut whipped cream, pineapple chunks, and a cherry!
Enjoy as a quick refreshing breakfast or a toes in the sand snack!
