Notes
** This recipe is considered HIGH potassium so for some people with a potassium restriction, portion should be decreased by half or you can replace the coconut milk with almond milk to significantly reduce overall potassium intake. We recommend if you replace the coconut milk that you add 1 tbsp of coconut oil and some coconut flakes on top to get the same "pina colada" taste. **
