I recently discovered this Refreshing Virgin Strawberry Pina Colada Recipe that instantly became one of my go-to summer drinks. I was really excited to mix flavors like 1 cup of fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced, with 1 cup of cubed fresh pineapple.

Combining these with 1/2 cup of full-fat coconut milk and 1/2 cup of pineapple juice creates a drink that’s both creamy and bursting with tropical tang. I usually add 1 to 2 tbsp honey to give it just the right sweetness and finish it off with about 1 cup of ice cubes to keep it refreshing.

It reminds me of those fun, tropical beverages you see at summer parties or trendy brunches but completely alcohol-free. Its mix of fruity freshness and creamy coconut makes it a playful twist on a pina colada vibe that you can enjoy any time.

You really must try it and let it bring some tropical energy to your day!

Why I Like this Recipe

I like this recipe for so many reasons. First, the mix of fresh strawberries and pineapple gives it a really fun tropical vibe – it’s like I have a mini vacation every time I sip it. Second, its super easy to make; I don’t have to spend ages measuring stuff out or waiting for everything to blend together, which is perfect for busy days. Third, the coconut milk adds a creamy richness that makes it taste way better than any store-bought drink – it just feels like a treat. Lastly, I love that it’s a healthier option since it’s made with real fruit and I can control how much sweetener I use.

FAQ

Can I use frozen fruits instead of fresh? Yeah, you can use frozen strawberries or pineapple, but let them thaw for a few minutes if your blender seems to struggle with the ice.

What if I don't have honey? No worries at all, you can swap the honey with sugar or another sweetener and adjust the quantity to taste.

How do I get that extra creaminess? Using full-fat coconut milk is key for creaminess, and if you want it even thicker, try adding a bit more coconut milk during the blend.

Can I add other fruits to the mix? Sure, feel free to mix in some extra strawberries or even a bit of mango for a twist, just keep the ratios balanced so the flavor stays fresh.

How long can I store it? It's best enjoyed right after blending, but you can keep it in the fridge for up to a day if needed.

Refreshing Virgin Strawberry Pina Colada Recipe Substitutions and Variations

If you dont have fresh strawberries, try using raspberries or even frozen strawberries instead.
If fresh pineapple isnt available, you can use canned pineapple chunks (drain them well) or even mango cubes.
Without coconut milk you can go with full-fat cream or almond milk mixed with a little coconut extract to keep it tropical.
Instead of pineapple juice, orange juice or even apple juice works just fine depending on what flavor you like.
And if you dont have honey, maple syrup or agave nectar is a good substitute for a touch of sweetness.

Pro Tips

1. Try using frozen fruits instead of ice cubes if you want an extra thick, smoothie-like texture and to avoid watering down your drink.
2. If you like a tangier vibe, squeeze in a tiny bit of lime or lemon juice; it really brings out the pineapple flavor without overpowering the strawberry.
3. Always taste as you go so you can adjust the sweetness later—sometimes the honey or sugar can vary with the fruit ripeness, so add extra if needed rather than too much at first.
4. Giving your blender a quick pause midway through blending can help mix in any chunks that stick to the side and end up with a perfectly smooth drink.
