A piña colada may be the ultimate vacation drink, but the alcohol and added sugar can leave you feeling less than refreshed. This protein-packed smoothie delivers the same creamy pineapple-coconut flavor in a nourishing mocktail that supports your goals and still feels like a tropical escape, whether you’re poolside or wishing you were.
