Try This Healthy Recipe to Celebrate National Piña Colada Day

Enjoy a tasty summer drink, minus the calories.

Monday, July 10 is National Piña Colada Day, and we have the perfect recipe for you to try. While a typical piña colada might be high in calories, this version, with the addition of lite coconut milk and flax oil, is a much healthier option. The simple, easy-to-make recipe from Westchester nutritionist Jacqui Justice can be used as a mocktail, a cocktail, or even a protein drink. Now, grab your blender, put on Rupert Holmes’ Escape (The Pina Colada Song) to set the mood, and celebrate!
