There’s just something about summer that causes me to crave coconut and pineapple. A whiff of suntan lotion can trigger cravings for the tropics. Am I the only person who loves the smell of coconut-infused suntan lotions?
I’m such a summer girl! Maybe it’s because I spent most of my childhood vacations at the beach. Maybe it’s because Sunshine on my Shoulders makes me happy.
(Oh, wait, that’s an old song by John Denver.) Whatever the reason, I’m crazy about summer!
I also have a recipe for peanut butter and jelly breakfast smoothie that I love!
Breakfast Pina Colada Is Perfect for Vacation
When I was growing up, we’d head to St. Simons/Jekyll Island or Panama City Beach for family vacations.
Once, we rented a house on Jekyll and it was so close to the ocean that when the tide came in, we could play in the water a few feet from the back door.
My Breakfast Pina Colada combines all of my favorite summer flavors in one frosty, delicious smoothie. Of course, you don’t have to wait until breakfast. This smoothie is also good on a hot afternoon.
Every time I take a sip, I close my eyes and pretend to be oceanside as I hum Escape (the Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes. It’ll tide me over until I get to my favorite island in July.
Fresh Pineapple Is Best For My Breakfast Pina Colada
Fresh pineapple is always better. To avoid the mess, I use a pineapple corer/slicer that I ordered from Amazon.
You just cut off the top of the pineapple, place the end of the pineapple corer over the core of the pineapple and start turning. When you get to the bottom, lift it up and you have a perfectly sliced and cored pineapple. It’s so easy!
Ingredients At A Glance For Breakfast Pina Colada (full recipe below)
- Fresh or frozen pineapple
- Medium banana
- Orange juice
- Light coconut milk

Helpful Hint: I always freeze the banana and pineapple overnight in freezer bags. It gives the Pina Colada a slushy consistency.

Sounds fabulous Alli! We tend to enjoy pineapple and coconut in the summer also. My niece admitted a few days ago that she was opening her coconut sun screen and sniffing it so she could feel like she was at the beach. LoL
I’ll be making this beverage for us very soon!
Wow, that is a heck of a way to start the day! I love pineapple and coconut & would LOVE to try this 😉
What a healthy breakfast idea! Next week, I will be doing a pineapple cleanse for 3 days straight.
That looks SO good! I love Pina Colada, and this would be a perfect way to wake up in the morning. Thanks for the recipe, I’ll give it a try!

One of my favorite drinks for breakfast! Yes please! I can’t wait to try this and I bet S would love it too!
Nothing says Summer like a Piña Colada in my hand! I love this recipe and using coconut milk instead of the coconut cream used in the traditional drink makes it lower in calories too. I have to try it for breakfast and then add a dash of spiced rum for the afternoon’s by the pool! Cheers!
Omg! I need make one right now, it is so hot here! Thank you so much for the great recipe 😀
A breakfast pina colada sounds so yummy, it is the perfect thing to wake up to in the morning! I really love the tropical flavors a lot.
I am a summer person but never had a breakfast pina colada. I guess that I am doing it wrong. lol
I am definitely a summer girl! I wish I lived close to the ocean because I’d be out there every day! This pina colada looks so yummy! I’ll have to go buy a pineapple and try it.

Sounds amazing! Pina Coladas are my absolute favorite thing on this planet! No joke! Haha, my mom use to make them for me and my brother as a treat growing up so they’re very symbolic and your recipe sounds scrumptious!
I just happen to have all the ingredients on hand to make this. I haven’t had a real Pina colors in years. That changes today! Yum!
We ♥ Pina Coladas! My kids are always asking for a tropical drink ever since we drank them in the Florida Keys. They want the whole shebang with the little umbrella and everything!
I love summer and warm weather. I love to go anywhere that I can lay on the beach and enjoy the sunshine!
Pina coloda for breakfast? I’m in! This looks so good. I love Florida in the Summer and any other place that’s warm and sunny!
Oh, this looks so good. I love Pina Coladas. And one of my fave things ever is fresh pineapple. There is nothing like it. Has to be fresh!
Mmm, these look delicious! Perfect for a fruity pick-me-up in the morning. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Yummy, this sounds delicious. I love Pina coladas. I might have to try this recipe. I also need a pineapple tool too. I love fresh pineapple but it’s a pain to core and cut up.
It has two things that I love, coconut and pineapple so it is truly delicious for me! I need to buy me a pineapple tool to ease up the preparation.
I am a summer person, but I don’t have a certain favorite summer vacation spot. Since I got here in the U.S., the hubs had taken us to many different places. We love to check new places as family.
That looks SO yummy! And for BREAKFAST, no less!
Yummm, this looks incredible! I’ll take it for breakfast any day! Thank you for sharing
How did I not know that pineapple corer existed? We eat tons of pineapple, I need one of those. And a pina colada also!
I love these pina colada. I definitely need one of these today.
I love pineapple and it works wonders in a smoothie. Pineapple pairs well with tumeric and ginger which are both helpful with inflammation.
