This homemade pina colada is healthy for many reasons; here are a few:
In general, rum is a gluten-free liquor. So, yes, Bacardi rum is gluten-free. However, avoid Bacardi Silver, a malt-based rum that can contain gluten.
Feel free to substitute light coconut milk with full-fat coconut milk.
I like using Baracrdi’s Superior Rum.
Yes, just omit the rum and add 1/4 cup more coconut milk.
Pina coladas are known for their tropical pineapple and coconut flavor, so it is hard to replace the coconut milk. However, you can easily use almond milk, whole milk, 2% milk, cashew milk, or soy milk instead. If you make this swap, I recommend adding 2 to 3 tablespoons of shredded coconut to the blender with the other ingredients. That will achieve the classic pina colada flavor.
Yes! If you don’t like the flavor of coconut, substitute the coconut milk with your favorite milk alternative. You can use almond, oat, soy, cashew, whole, 2%, skim, or rice milk.

You can use fresh pineapple if you are in a rush and don’t have time to freeze it. If you do this, you will need to add more crushed ice, and the pina colada will be a little “icier.” For the best results, freeze fresh pineapple chunks for a few hours before making this skinny pina colada.
You can use any white, silver, or coconut rum.
Yes, this pina colada recipe is 100% dairy-free.
Yes, pina coladas are typically vegan since they call for coconut milk and not dairy milk. This skinny pina colada recipe is 100% vegan.
