Do you want a tropical drink without a load of sugar and other unhealthy stuff added?
You need to give this dairy free Pineapple Slushie a try. It is healthy, easy and oh so delicious.
This is not a Dole Whip copycat. The pineapple soft serve mix from Dole to make that contains sugar, dextrose stabilizers and less than 2% of natural and artificial flavoring.
This recipe contains fresh pineapple and coconut milk blended with ice cubes.
Hmm! Which one sounds healthier to you?
How to pick a ripe pineapple:
Pineapple is available year round, but it is at it's peak March through July. They do not ripen after picking, though they will get softer and juicier if left on the counter. Just not sweeter.
When choosing a pineapple the color should be mostly yellow, it should feel slightly soft when squeezing and should smell pineapple-y. I also have good luck by trying to pull a leaf from the crown. If it comes out easily it is ripe, if you have to tug on it try another pineapple.

This sounds delicious and refreshing. You certainly don't need sugar when you're using pineapple. It's so naturally sweet!
