Piña Colada smoothie - elixir for youthful and radiant skin

This Piña Colada smoothie is not just a tropical treat, but a true beauty bomb in a glass. The combination of pineapple, coconut milk, mango, and banana provides the body with vitamins, enzymes, and healthy fats that support collagen production, skin hydration, and protection against premature aging. It is ideal as a morning ritual, post-workout, or as a guilt-free healthy dessert.

If you don't always have fresh fruit on hand, you can also prepare Piña Colada with our freeze-dried fruit, which retains its intense flavor and nutrients.

• 150 g pineapple

• 120 ml coconut drink

• 100 g mango

• 50 g banana

• juice of ½ lime or lemon (optional)

• a few ice cubes or a little water as needed

Preparation

Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until you get a smooth, creamy texture. Serve immediately - best well chilled.

Why is this smoothie a skin elixir?

Pineapple - Glow and Collagen
