Olivia found this great, refreshing summertime dessert on a site called www.cleanfoodcrush.com. It is super for those times when you crave something like ice cream or sherbet but don't want to partake of the calories or carbs.
Olivia has had a great deal of success losing weight and eating healthier by making a few changes such as the types of sweeteners she uses and using ingredients like almond milk or coconut milk.
This frozen dessert reminds me of pineapple whips we used to get at the county fair or pineapple sherbet I would eat as a child. Pineapple is such a great fruit that is big on flavor, texture, and just the right amount of tartness.
Try making this sweet treat the next time you crave something cold and yummy.

Frozen Whipped Pineapple
Ingredients
- 5-6 cups frozen pineapple chunks (let thaw a teeny 'tiny bit before blending...maybe 3 minutes on the counter, we still want it frozen...just not SOLID)
- 1/2 - 1 cup COLD unsweetened almond milk, or COLD coconut milk (I used coconut milk today) Start with 1/2 cup liquid and continue adding while blending until desired consistently is achieved.
- You can use a touch of sweetener if you choose (raw honey, stevia, pure maple....you really don't need a lot! A few drops will do...raw honey tastes the best with pineapple). I do NOT use any sweetener, and each one of my children love it!
Instructions
- Blend everything in a high-powered blender until desired consistency.
- I used a low setting, stopping several times to stir, in order to get it to process. I use a blentec blender. If your blender is not high powered, then try a food processor...or just be very patient with it. It will work!
- Optional: Add a few fresh slices of Pineapple on top!
