The Kapalua Spa, which opened in 2009, was designed around the philosophy that the ocean provides us with both spiritual and physical nourishment. Guests travel from around the island to enjoy everything from girls getaways, to ultimate wedding day experiences, to treatments inspired by the sea's bounty of natural ingredients in outdoor hales.
This is one of my favorite places in the resort--the Kapalua Spa offers incredible classes and a state of the art fitness centers with fantastic ocean views. After a workout there's nothing better than one of their signature smoothies.
It's said that simple pleasures are the best things in life.
This is especially true when it comes to cooking--the closer to nature the ingredient, the better the result. I asked Crystal Poe-Cabatbat to share their most popular smoothie with us and voila! The Pinky Smoothie. This is the perfect, healthy reminder of your tropical vacation:
The Kapalua Spa's Signature Pinky Smoothie
½ Banana
1 cup Strawberries
½ cup Pineapple Juice
½ cup Coconut Water
½ cup Coconut Milk
Blend well and add ice for desired consistency
