TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this pina colada protein shake.

  • Use Frozen Pineapple: It gives the shake a thicker, frostier consistency without needing ice.
  • Enhance Creaminess: Add 1 tbsp of Greek yoghurt or a small frozen banana.
  • For Extra Protein: Use 15g of protein powder instead of 10g.
  • Natural Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter shake, add 1 tsp of honey or maple syrup.
  • Add Fibre: Blend in 1 tbsp of chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra fibre and omega-3s.
  • Coconut Boost: Sprinkle shredded coconut on top for an added tropical touch.
  • Make It A Smoothie Bowl: Reduce the coconut milk to 150ml and serve in a bowl with toppings like granola, coconut flakes and fresh pineapple.

VARIATIONS

  • Chocolate Tropical Twist: Add 1 tsp cocoa powder for a unique coconut pineapple-chocolate flavour.
  • Nutty Version: Blend in 1 tsp almond butter for a nutty depth of flavour.
  • Citrus Pina Colada: Add ½ tsp lime juice for a tangy twist.
  • Extra Tropical: Add ¼ mango for an even fruitier taste.
  • Green Boost: Blend in a handful of spinach for added nutrients without altering the taste.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.
  • Freezing: Pour into an ice cube tray and freeze. Blend with fresh coconut milk when ready to drink.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Pre-portion dry ingredients into small containers for quick preparation on busy mornings.
