Ingredients & Substitutions
Grab these simple ingredients and get blending!
- Frozen pineapple: The base of these piña coladas. Frozen works best for a thick, creamy texture. Buy pre-frozen or freeze your own until solid.
- Ice cubes: To make the drink extra cold and frosty.
- Coconut milk: Canned coconut milk is the liquid that helps everything blend smoothly, adding creamy texture and tropical flavor. Use full-fat or light, depending on how rich you like it.
- Lime juice: Adds a tangy twist! Just a splash of lime goes a long way in brightening up the other flavors.
- Agave nectar: Adds natural sweetness with a clean, mild flavor that lets the tropical flavors shine. You can also use pure maple syrup (slightly changes the flavor), sugar, or a lower-sugar option like monkfruit or stevia.
- Coconut extract: Totally optional, but so good! A few drops intensify the coconut flavor for an even more tropical vibe.
- Garnishes: Decorate your mocktails with pineapple wedges, pineapple leaves, lime wedges, shredded coconut, maraschino cherries, and/or paper umbrellas for extra flair.

Variations
Put your own spin on these piña colada mocktails! Here are some ideas:
- Make it a cocktail: Although this is a mocktail, you can add ½ cup of white rum, if that’s your thing.
- Add protein: For a creamier, more filling drink, stir in a scoop of plain or vanilla protein powder. This is similar to my pineapple protein green smoothie and gives your piña colada an energizing twist.
- Tropical swap: Replace half or all of the frozen pineapple with frozen mango to make a mango colada mocktail!
How to Make a Healthy Piña Colada Mocktail
Whip up this mocktail in a matter of minutes! Here's how:
Step 1: Add all the ingredients to a high-powered blender.
Step 2: Blend until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash of coconut milk and blend again. Taste and adjust sweetness or coconut flavor with more agave or coconut extract. Then pour into glasses, add toppings or garnishes, and enjoy!
Chloe's Tips
- Shake your coconut milk: Canned coconut milk naturally separates, so give it a good shake before opening to ensure a smooth, even consistency.
- Chill your glasses: Pop your serving glasses in the freezer while you blend up the mocktails — they’ll stay icy longer.
- Batch for a party: Double or triple the recipe using the sliding scale on the recipe card. Store extras in the fridge, then give it a quick stir or re-blend with a handful of ice before serving to freshen it up.
