As regular readers know, I like drinks that are light and fruity. While I have a few recipes that I favor, I always am willing to try a new combination. When I received this recipe for a skinny colada, its name alone piqued my interest. Skinny and colada in one drink? It sounded like a winner to me.
Having tried the recipe, it is the perfect way to fix that craving for a tropical drink. Although I love the flavors in a pina colada, I find that the frozen versions are heavy and filling. If I am going to indulge in a frozen drink such as that, I probably am not eating much of a meal with it. However, this drink is light and makes the perfect compliment to munchies or dinner.
Even though I favored it for its lightness, it also is quite tasty. Friends who are less concerned with the heaviness of the drink will find this drink to be enjoyable for the delicious combination of pineapple and coconut.
Whatever your motivation is for trying this drink (fewer calories, lightness, tropical cravings), you will find it to be a fun, new beverage to add to your drink-making repertoire.
