Paula, can I meet you one day? You are my hero. And this smoothie reminds me of when I was little. My house was known as the "Pina Colada House' by all our friends!

Awesome.... Paula, can you adopt me?

By Allan Haber on May 03, 2012

Very good. I added a cup of vanilla yogurt to the mix and some coconut rum for my serving.

I just made this for me and my two boys (ages 2 & 4) and they loved it (no surprise!). We called it a pineapple smoothie. I used vanilla coconut milk and left out the honey. I calculated the calories for serving 3 (approx. 8 oz per person) and it is just 93 calories each - a great mid morning snack for anyone!

@ Brooke Gardner ....please grow up and function in the real world!! You can control what you do, say, and expose your children to but, please refrain from telling the world how you would like it to be! Call it what you want it to be, a pina colada or pineapple smoothie!! You need to pick up a book and improve your mind rather than surf the net looking to pass judgements!!!! He who lives in glass houses......now go back under your rock and stay there!!

Oh my Dear Paula this sounds so yummy, I'm just gonna have to try it for my afternoon snack. I'd do it right now but my hubby is taking a little nap and wouldn't want to wake him with the noise of the blender. Oh and Paula, THANK YOU for being who you are! Love your shows and your cookbooks.

I just made these and they were delicious! I added some flax seed meal for extra nutrition. YUM.

I just made this. It's ok. But next time I'm only going to use half a banana and more pineapple. I like my drinks tangy thought. This tasted to much like a plain strawberry banana smoothie.

I love this smoothie i am on a diet that has no dairy products, however we can do coconut milk! Its a great recipe!!

I wonder if I could use regular milk and add real coconut?

By Alysha on March 15, 2012

I love it! I especially love the fact that it is lactose and gluten FREE!

By Sarah Hood on March 14, 2012

I agree with Dawn! Don't call it a pina collada if you don't want to, how about a pineapple smoothie? Not like your kids will know the difference... it's delicious sounding either way! can't wait to try it!

Hi Paula! I can't wait to try this smoothie! My kids love pinapples so I think they will love this! A comment to Brooks Gardner... If you don't like the name don't call it a Pina Colada! You are the parent you can name it what ever you want. The name doesn't affect the flavor.

Right now the main dish is Turkey or Ham for the Holidays,but If it was left to me i would eat just plain old Yard Bird Lol..(Chicken)but we will see what I might have this year. You know what I might just have and I think it might just work a Roast with all the trimming, now that will work.. Holla Lol

I think these are perfect for children, and the name makes them a fancy drink, not one that usually only adults drink.

By Anonymous on October 20, 2011

That looks so good!!! Pass one over please (: I love me some pineapple

By Amanda on August 28, 2011

I would prefer that we adults not make cocktail named drinks for our kids it could give the the child a wrong impression

Hi Paula, this was my first winter in NC not knowing anyone is was lonely. But at 6:00 pm I knew I could put on the TV and watch your show. You bring so my joy to all your viewers, I felt I was at home with my family. I love your recipes and your ease of ability to cook. Paula, you got me through my first winter in NC. Keep on cooking and having fun. Shirley Berard
