A delicious, healthy, and hydrating tropical smoothie made with pineapple, banana, coconut water and coconut oil.
During the summer, I am all about the pineapple coconut drink vibe. Whether it is healthier pina coladas or this virgin pineapple smoothie recipe, I am all about it. This smoothie, however, is inspired by a piña colada, but is more focused on hydration.
It is perfect for a summer day because it has coconut water and coconut oil in it, which will leave you feeling super hydrated. It is also nutrient-packed and easy to make at home.

- coconut water– this is what adds the hydrating quality to the smoothie.

How to make it

Expert tips
- How to keep the coconut oil from clumping
- The key is to make sure to melt it until warm. Don’t melt it until it is hot! Basically, once the coconut oil is melted, stop heating it!
- Then, pour the liquid coconut oil into the smoothie WHILE the smoothie is mixing in the blender. The movement inside the mixing blender will ensure the coconut oil gets mixed into the other ingredients evenly and also reduces the likelihood of clumping.
