A cocktail that is not only healthy but one that will set you up for the day and allow you to drive to work. It’s a win-win!!

Virgin Pina Colada

Just look at this beauty. Unsweetened coconut milk, pineapple and desiccated coconut. Blitz it with a load of ice and away you go. A Virgin Pina Colada right at you. The national drink of Puerto Rico (almost) as a healthy breakfast drink. Who’d of thought of that!!

Before we make one let’s have a quick look at a couple of the ingredients…



 1. Virgin Pina Colada ingredients

a) Coconut milk

The key when you make your healthy Virgin Pina Colada is to use unsweetened coconut milk. Don’t worry you sugar fiends, the vanilla essence will sweeten it down. However, using unsweetened coconut milk keeps it at it’s most natural and also keeps the calories down.

The health benefits of coconut milk are many but the key 3 are that, initially, coconut milk can help with weight loss but decreasing the urge to snack. Further, although relatively high in fat, it’s good fat. This means coconut milk adds good cholesterol to your body reducing your overall bad cholesterol. Great for your heart. Finally, coconut milk contains lauric acid which supports your immune system and fights off infection.

b) Pineapple

Pineapple is almost a super fruit. It has many health benefits and should be a regular part of your diet. There primary 2 health benefits. Firstly, pineapple is packed full of vitamin C. This is essential for our body’s immune system and, like coconut milk, helps fight infection.

Secondly, pineapple contains almost 75% of our daily requirement of manganese which is great for bone strength. For more information about the health benefits of pineapple click here ▶.
