Tropical pineapple and coconut combine for a cool, creamy blue drink, topped with whipped cream and a fun garnish.

# What You'll Need:

→ Blended Drink Base

01 - 1 1/2 cups frozen pineapple chunks, unsweetened
02 - 1/2 cup full-fat canned coconut milk, well-shaken
03 - 1/4 cup whole milk or plant-based milk such as almond or oat
04 - 2 tablespoons cream of coconut
05 - 1 to 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or honey, to taste
06 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
07 - 1 cup ice cubes
08 - Blue food coloring or 1/8 teaspoon natural spirulina powder, for color

→ Garnishes

09 - Whipped cream, for topping
10 - Blue sugar crystals or shredded coconut, for garnish

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Combine frozen pineapple, coconut milk, whole or plant-based milk, cream of coconut, sugar or honey, vanilla extract, and ice in a high-powered blender. Blend for 2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy.
02 - Add a small drop of blue food coloring or a pinch of spirulina to the blended mixture. Pulse briefly to incorporate. Gradually add more coloring if needed, blending between additions until the desired pastel blue hue is achieved.
03 - Divide the blue frappuccino mixture evenly between two tall glasses, filling each to the brim for optimal presentation.
04 - Top each glass generously with whipped cream. Sprinkle blue sugar crystals or shredded coconut over the whipped cream for a decorative finish.
05 - Insert a colorful straw and serve at once while the drink is cold and frosty. Enjoy the Ocean Love Colada Frappuccino at its most refreshing right after blending.

# Additional Tips:

01 - For best texture and taste, serve immediately after blending. Adjust the color intensity gradually and chill your glasses in advance to prolong the icy consistency.
02 - This beverage draws inspiration from the piña colada and island café drinks, with a modern pastel blue twist.
03 - Vary the garnish for celebrations—blue sprinkles, pineapple wedges, or extra coconut elevate the presentation.
04 - To prepare ahead, blend all ingredients except ice and coloring, refrigerate, then add ice and blue color and blend again just before serving.
