A tropical frozen treat that satisfies your sweet tooth and provides long-lasting energy.
Alas, I won’t be drinking margaritas this Cinco de Mayo (future baby: you can thank me later).
But nearly as delicious is this tropical, creamy smoothie, which I will be drinking.
I added the raspberries here for color and tang, and ended up liking the result even more than I thought. Newest favorite smoothie!
As the weather begins to heat up, you’ll love having this pina colada treat recipe in your back pocket.
