Healthy Pineapple Whip

If you've been reading our posts these past few weeks, you'll have noticed that we have been striving to find the best of the best healthy summer treats to offer you some choices when that sweet craving hits. (and in this humidity, it hits hard.)

This week's recipe is a spin on the ever-popular "Dole Whip", a pineapple soft serve that is creamy and citrusy offering just the right amount of both flavors to satisfy. Pineapple is high in manganese, vitamin B in the form of thiamin, vitamin C, and dietary fiber. The local honey used in this recipe has the additional benefit of aiding in the alleviation of allergy symptoms. 

The recipe is simple, quick and only uses 3 ingredients. Another great option for hot summer days, or anytime you are dreaming of exotic tropical beaches. 

Pineapple Whip

Gather:

1 bag frozen pineapple chunks

1 cup almond milk (or less, depending on desired consistency)

1 tbsp local honey

Method:

1. Pour all ingredients into high speed blender like Vitamix,  or food proccessor--some standard blenders may not work properly, as pineapple must be completely emulsified.

2. Blend all ingredients until a sorbet-like consistency is achieved.

That's it! Enjoy with fresh pineapple or make an "Ice cream float" with the pineapple whip and pineapple juice-perfect for a day by the pool, or an after workout treat.

See you back here next week for a grill-inspired healthy summer recipe.
