With all this brutal heat we’ve been having, I needed a cool and refreshing pineapple recipe (that didn’t leave me with a horrible headache the next morning). So here we have a virgin (and lite!) pina colada to transport you far, far away from the NYC humidity.

For 2 servings you will need:

1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into smallish chunks
10 oz coconut water
1/2 banana (preferably frozen)
Ice (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a blender, buzz, serve & enjoy! Then queue the cool island breezes and the song “Escape” by Rupert Holmes.

Until next time!
