Wild Blueberry Pina Colada Smoothie Recipe -- A healthy start to your day with a tropical twist! Made with wild blueberries, frozen pineapple, and coconut water, it's a taste of the tropics in a glass!
By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by the Wild Blueberry Association of North America and I am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.
T to the G to the I to the all mighty F. Who's with me?!
I may be ignoring the fact that mother nature just unloaded her fury in the form of 13 inches of snow with this one, but I like to keep this blog a positive space. Let's think kind thoughts of sun, sand, and drink in hand.
It's days like these that you need to just ride out the storm, pull the shades down, crank the heat, put umbrellas in your drinks, and remind yourself that summer is one day closer.
I mean, you can't really beat summers in Maine. Our license plates say VACATIONLAND. C'mon people.
PLUS we're the home to the double delicious, double antioxidant, double AWESOME wild blueberries (Ow! Ow!), so really we should be called Blueberryville Vacationland.
Truth: I don't think I've actually had a pina colada in my adult life. Sure, I slugged a few umbrella-ed drinks in my youth when I wasn't slamming back double shirley temples left and right.
...and by double, I mean double cherry. Duh.
So maybe I don't like pina coladas. Maybe I do. I'd like to think a few hits of rum wouldn't make them taste worse. 😉
I do know that I like wild blueberry pina colada smoothies....and gettin' caught in the rain. 🙂

The only thing that would make this recipe better is if I could actually enjoy it while laying on the beach. May need to make it and use my imagination a bit for the time being!
