Pina Coladas are the pinnacle of summer—by blending together the sweet tang of your favorite frozen fruits, creamy coconut milk, and rum, you’re crafting the perfect cool-down cocktail. But this summer, we’re giving the traditional pina colada recipe two superfood twists. Try a Dragon Fruit & Turmeric or Sweet Spirulina Pina Colada at your next indoor BBQ.
Dragon fruit is loaded with fiber and great for gut health. Turmeric is naturally anti-inflammatory and high in antioxidants. Dragon fruit and turmeric together? A delicious combination of sweetness and spice that’s packed with health benefits. This pina colada recipe is dairy-free, vegan, and comes together in less than five minutes.
Yield: 2 servings
Active Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
2 cups frozen pineapple
6 tablespoons Thrive Market Coconut Milk
1 cup cold Thrive Market Coconut Water
1 lime
1 cup crushed ice
â…” cup (or 6 ounces) light rum
2 tablespoons Pitaya Plus Organic Freeze Dried Red Dragon Fruit Powder
1 to 2 teaspoons Thrive Market Ground Turmeric
To make the Dragon Fruit Pina Colada, combine 1 cup of frozen pineapple, 3 tablespoons coconut milk, ½ cup of coconut water, ½ of the lime, 3 ounces of rum, and 2 tablespoons of Pitaya powder in a blender. Blend until smooth. If it begins to melt, add more crushed ice. Pour evenly into 2 glasses.
Repeat a second time to make the Turmeric Pina Colada. In a blender, combine 1 cup of frozen pineapple, 3 tablespoons coconut milk, ½ cup of coconut water, ½ of the lime, 3 ounces of rum, and 1-2 teaspoons of turmeric. Blend until smooth. Carefully pour into the same two glasses with Dragon Fruit Pina Colada. Garnish with lime rounds.
Spirulina is blue-green algae that may help remove toxins from the body and boost overall immunity. If you’ve tried spirulina before, you may be hesitant to put it in a cocktail. But the slightly savory flavor, when paired with the sweet notes of rum and pineapple, is surprisingly delicious. This recipe is also dairy-free, vegan, and can be whipped up in less than 5 minutes.
