Preparation

  1. Prepare the pineapple by cutting around the top and scooping out the inside, or use a pineapple corer tool to remove the center. Set the pineapple shell aside for serving. Save the pineapple insides for snacking, freezing, or blending into juice later.
  2. Add frozen pineapple, frozen banana, coconut milk, dates, ice, and fresh lime juice to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust coconut milk depending on how thick you want the piña coladas.
  3. To make the date garnish, wet your hands and roll the Medjool dates into small balls. Roll each one in unsweetened coconut flakes, then place onto a cocktail pick or martini skewer.
  4. Pour the piña coladas into the pineapple shell and garnish with the coconut rolled dates plus any desired toppings like kiwi, lime, jalapeño, fresh mint, or mini umbrellas.

*While Medjool dates are high in natural sugars, they are low on the glycemic index thanks to a balanced amount of soluble fiber. The complex carbohydrates found in Medjool dates are digested at a slower rate, making them a source of dietary fiber and releasing energy to the body over a longer period of time.
