It’s summertime and it’s hot. Like, real hot. Like, 100 degrees hot. Every. Single. Day. And not that nice dry heat I always here about, no, here in Chicago we have that lovely humid, can’t-take-a-breathe-cause-the-air-is-so-thick type of heat. Ugh. It makes me tired just thinking about it.
When it’s freakin’ hot outside you’ve got to increase your fluid intake. Right? But water is boring. So let’s make it fun by blending up some Pina Coladas. Yeah, now we’re talking.
These are great anytime of day as this is the non-alcoholic version, although feel free to add in some rum after the kids go to bed. You deserve it 🙂 Blend away and then enjoy on your porch while watching the sun set….my happy place.
Hold onto your hats peeps, you only need 3 ingredients to get to your happy place!
Easy Frosty Pina Coladas (non-alcoholic version)
Recipe Type: Beverages

Prep time:
Total time:
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 1 20 oz can crushed pineapple with juice
- 2/3 cup real cream of coconut (not coconut milk!)
- 8 cups of ice
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender and mix together until well blended.
- Pour into glasses and enjoy!
- *May add alcohol to taste if desired.
So simple…just a can of crushed pineapple with the juice and 2/3 cup real cream of coconut. I love the Coco Lopez brand. You will not want to use coconut milk, it’s just not the same…sorry. You can usually find Coco Lopez in the alcohol section of your grocery store. You know, by the beer and the drink mixers…it’s good stuff. Know it. Own it.
You will also need 8 cups of ice. Now most blenders cannot handle this much ice plus the ingredients so I usually split the ingredients list in half and make it in two batches.
Ice, crushed pineapple, Coco Lopez, blend, pour, repeat, enjoy!
Perfect for your next momma’s night in…especially if you or someone you know if pregnant or breastfeeding 😉 Or how about a baby shower…bridal shower…BBQ…or just for funsies!
Thanks for stopping by today!
XOXO,
I am in Geneva IL and it is even humid and hot this morning! I love piña coladas, but dislike rum, so your recipe is perfect. I actually have some coconut creme in the pantry, now I just need some pineapple. Thanks for the recipe and good idea. I bet my kids will like them too.
In addition to being a breastfeeding mom, I’m a ministry student in a church that favors abstinence from alcohol, and I LOVE finding yummy recipes for mocktails! Thanks for sharing this–it’s perfect!
I love this! Thanks for the recipe .
Oh YUM! Loving this and can’t wait to try it! I love pina coladas, but don’t really care all that much for the alcohol – thanks for this! 🙂
Mercy!!! My friend has been trying to convince me to try these for over a year. I’m pretty sure its a similar recipe, but a picture is worth a 1,000 words.
Lol, I had just whipped up a pineapple-coconut smoothie before I came across this post! Mine was a lot more complicated though, now I want to try your nice and simple one. =)
Last night when I was out with a couple of gal pals, I wanted to get one of these, but the restaurant we went to did not make frozen drinks (I like them better sans rum). I think I’ll have to go get the ingredients and make one myself tomorrow. Sorry it’s hot and gross for you guys too, though I’m glad it’s not just us in New England. Misery loves company!
So good! Thanks…Oslaine
