This cocktail makes a fabulous alternative to the carbohydrate and calorie heavy summer tropics favorite; Pina Colada. Naked Protein Colada whips up a lighter version of the classic Colada Cocktail without adding the wallop to your waist line.

Naked Protein Colada – created by The Intoxicologist
2 ounces Bacardi Coconut Rum
2 ounces Naked Protein Zone Protein Juice Smoothie
1-1/2 cups cracked ice
3/4 ounce Bacardi Select as float

Blend Bacardi Coconut Rum, Naked juice smoothie and ice together in a blender on puree until completely smooth. Pour into a tall decorative glass. Float 3/4 ounce of Bacardi on top. Opt out of the traditional fruit garnish to cut down on added sugar calories. Opt in on the frilly umbrella garnish for fun and frivolity!
