Nutrition values are calculated estimates for the listed ingredients, preparation, and serving size. Ingredient brands, substitutions, preparation, and serving size can change the result.
Calculation assumptions Estimated with unsweetened canned light coconut milk and unsweetened coconut water. Coconut-milk brands vary in fat and calories.
Serving basis: The calculated batch is divided into 1 equal serving.
Method: Nutrition is estimated from listed mass quantities or the stated label-volume basis, preparation, and cited composition data. A label-volume equivalent is not a measured gram weight. Actual values vary by brand, produce size, preparation method, and serving yield.
Quality check: database or declared-label energy is checked against macro-derived energy. Variances above 8% are blocked for review unless a documented food-specific or rounding explanation has been approved.

Sugar check Pineapple and coconut water provide naturally occurring sugar. Unsweetened coconut milk keeps added sugar at zero.
Step by step Make it like a pro. 01 Add coconut water, light coconut milk, lime juice, frozen pineapple, and ice to the blender.
02 Blend on low until the ice begins to break down, then blend on high until thick and smooth.
03 Pour into a chilled glass and serve immediately, using a pineapple wedge only if desired.
Easy swaps Use refrigerated unsweetened coconut milk beverage for a lighter, less creamy drink. Use fresh pineapple plus one full cup of ice when frozen pineapple is unavailable. Add one teaspoon maple syrup only when the pineapple is not fully ripe. Mixpert tips Shake canned light coconut milk before measuring because it can separate. Start with less ice and add more only if the drink needs thickening. Good to know Creamy Virgin Piña Colada FAQs Why is my virgin Piña Colada separating?+ Pineapple, coconut milk, coconut water, and ice can separate as the frozen blend warms. Blend until completely smooth and serve immediately in a chilled glass. If it stands, stir or briefly reblend; avoid adding more coconut water unless the blender needs help moving.
Can I use coconut cream instead of light coconut milk?+ You can, but coconut cream is much thicker and richer than the unsweetened canned light coconut milk used here. Start with less cream and add coconut water until the frozen pineapple blends smoothly. The flavor, serving yield, and nutrition will change.
Can I make a virgin piña colada without cream of coconut?+ Yes. Unsweetened light coconut milk gives creaminess with less added sugar than sweetened cream of coconut.
