Do you like Piña Coladas?
I don’t know about you, but a long Midwest winter makes me crave a taste of the tropics! While we all may not be able to jet set to a beachy destination, we can at least pretend with our food and drink.
A Piña Colada is a classically creamy beach cocktail swirling with flavors of pineapple and coconut. It usually includes rum, but the great thing about this recipe is that it is alcohol-free for those partaking in Dry January or a sober lifestyle.
If you love the classic cocktail, don’t worry! What this drink lacks in alcohol it makes up for in added fruity flavor thanks to Health-Ade Strawberry Glow kombucha.
Available in the cooler in Heinen’s Wellness Department, the flavor of this gut friendly fermented beverage compliments the basic elements of the dink perfectly, but it’s also full of probiotic goodness that will nourish you from the inside out. I call that a win-win!
Blended until smooth and served in glasses rimmed with agave and crushed coconut flakes along with fruity garnishes, this summer-inspired drink will be the best thing you sip all winter!
