Super Piña Colada

I personally love Piña Colada... Too bad it's so high in calories, about 500 calories per small serving. Luckily, you can make a great tasting, reasonably low-calorie one at home, that has half of those calories and is so huge you can even share it, cutting by half the calories again! Just follow these steps:

Super Piña Colada

Ingredients
1 cup canned pineapple, unsweetened
1/2 cup low-fat vanilla ice cream
2 tablespoons coconut milk
2 individual packets Splenda
1 cup ice
1 cup water

Put all the ingredients in a blender.
Blend until smooth and serve.
Makes one huge serving.
