Coconut Kefir Colada

The Coconut Kefir Colada is a refreshing and tropical twist on the classic piña colada. Made with coconut kefir, coconut milk, lime juice, and rum or vodka (optional), this smoothie is creamy, tangy, and packed with probiotics. It's the perfect way to start your day or cool down on a hot summer afternoon.

The Coconut Kefir Colada was born out of a desire to create a healthier version of the classic piña colada. I love the creamy sweetness of piña coladas, but I wanted to find a way to make them without all the added sugar and calories. I started experimenting with different ingredients, and I eventually stumbled upon the perfect combination of coconut kefir, coconut milk, lime juice, and rum or vodka (optional). The result is a smoothie that is just as creamy and delicious as a traditional piña colada, but it's also much healthier.

Why It Works

• Coconut kefir is a fermented dairy product that is made with coconut milk. It is a good source of probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that can help to improve gut health.
• Coconut milk is a good source of healthy fats, including lauric acid, which has antibacterial and antiviral properties.
• Lime juice adds a bright and tangy flavor to the smoothie.
• Rum or vodka (optional) adds a boozy kick to the smoothie.
