Creamy Banana Pina Colada

We might not be on vacation, but this pineapple full of Banana Colada definitely is. #cheers

We took advantage of the NutriBullet's crazy blending abilities to blend up one of the easiest cocktails we've ever made. To get into specifics, the NutriBullet blends up a full smoothie (or Pina Colada) in about 30-60 seconds - which means we went from 11am in Dallas to 5 o'clock in Margaritaville in about 1 minute flat.

Accidental proof that we went over the 'Max' fill line...everything turned out great, but we were living pretty dangerously for those 60 seconds.

We love testing out gadgets and kitchen appliances, and this is one of our favorites. (We occasionally use it for healthy things too). The Balance model includes a scale built into the blender as well as bluetooth to connect to the corresponding app on your phone. It's pretty neat.

Whichever blender you use, this drink is a fantastic addition to any day, vacation or not.
