This toe-curling smoothie tastes even better than the real rum cocktail we all know and love from our tropical paradise vacations. Which, by the way, I was reminded of today as we hit a humidex of 36ºC (96.8ºF) here in Toronto – minus, of course, the beautiful white sandy beaches and fresh ocean air.

Of course, one sip of this healthy, coconut-pineappley-meal-in-a-
glass and no matter where you are, you’ll instantly be transported to a Caribbean island.
