Tips for Making this Pina Colada Smoothie Recipe:
Here are some helpful tips for making this smoothie more delicious.
Tip 1: Adding The Liquid First.
A lot of people add the liquid as the last ingredient in their smoothies. This step is completely wrong while making a smoothie. For getting the perfect taste of smoothie try adding the liquid first. You'll thank me later for this. I've used coconut milk in this recipe (carton milk).
Tip 2: Use Frozen Fruit.
I would recommend you to use frozen fruit for a thicker and creamier texture. This will also make the smoothie colder without adding ice to it. While you can also use fresh banana and pineapple for this Pina Colada Smoothie recipe.
Tip 3: Blend the Pina Colada Smoothie a Little Longer
I would recommend you to blend this smoothie a little longer than normal so that all the seeds are churned.
The longer the smoothie is blended the thicker and creamier it'll come out.
