Ingredients
Fruits
- 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
- Fresh strawberries and pineapple wedges, for garnish
Liquids & Sweeteners
- 1 cup coconut milk or coconut cream
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
Ice
- 1 cup ice
Instructions
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the hulled strawberries, coconut milk (or coconut cream), pineapple juice, honey or agave syrup (if using), and ice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no chunks remaining.
- Adjust Consistency: If the drink is too thick for your preference, add a little more pineapple juice or coconut milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve: Pour the blended Virgin Strawberry Piña Colada into serving glasses.
- Garnish: Top each glass with a fresh strawberry and a pineapple wedge for a decorative, tropical touch.
- Enjoy: Sip and savor immediately for the best flavor and texture!
Notes
- For a colder, slushier drink, use frozen strawberries.
- Coconut cream yields a richer, more decadent texture; coconut milk is lighter and less sweet.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding or omitting honey/agave, depending on the ripeness of your fruit.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for a crowd.
- For a vegan version, use agave syrup instead of honey and ensure your coconut milk/cream is plant-based.
