This creamy Pineapple Coconut Cloud Smoothie is packed with health benefits, tropical flavor and is possibly the prettiest smoothie I’ve ever seen. Despite the gorgeous and unique appearance, it’s actually super easy to make and is, of course, super good for you too!
Pineapple Coconut Cloud Smoothie
This Pineapple Coconut Cloud Smoothie is inspired by Marianna Hewitt’s Coconut Cloud Smoothie at Erewhon Market, which was available in March 2022. I don’t live in LA where Erewhons are located, so I had to try to create my own version to get the delicious blue swirly smoothie experience over in Ohio. After a few tries, I nailed a smooth textured smoothie that’s not too thick and not to thin while tasting like a tropical combination of vanilla and pineapple. It’s packed with health benefits and is possibly my favorite smoothie I’ve ever made, not to mention the prettiest. It is a must try!

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Open a can of coconut cream and add to a large bowl. Mix with a hand mixer until fluffy, then set aside.
- Blend all of the smoothie ingredients until smooth.
- Add whipped coconut cream to the bottom of your glass, followed by a small amount of spirulina powder.
- Pour the smoothie over top and watch the colors swirl. Top the smoothie with a spoonful of the whipped coconut cream and enjoy! Use a straw to create more dramatic swirls if you wish.
Notes
- If using unflavored collagen or protein powder, use 2 scoops protein/collagen + 1 tsp vanilla + 1/2 tsp stevia OR use 2 scoops protein/collagen + 1 tsp vanilla stevia
- If vegan or vegetarian, use protein powder of choice
- If you’d rather use banana instead of cauliflower, feel free
- If limiting nut products, use water in place of nut milk
I tried it! So delicious! Can’t taste the spirulina! So refreshing!
I’m so happy to hear you loved this recipe! 🙂
What kind of coconut cream do you use? Even after whipping, mine just solidifies when you pour the cold smoothie over it! Im using canned coconut cream. Might just try it with cocowhip next time…
I typically just use generic canned coconut cream! I also really like the Thai Kitchen brand. Cocowhip sounds delicious!
