Ingredients
Scale
Main Fruits:
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Liquid and Base Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
Flavor and Sweetener Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Topping:
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Combine fresh pineapple chunks, ripe blueberries, cold milk, crushed ice, golden honey, and aromatic vanilla extract into a high-powered blender.
- Pulse the mixture on maximum speed for 45-60 seconds, ensuring all ingredients transform into a silky, uniform consistency with no visible fruit chunks.
- Pour into a chilled glass for a frosty, refreshing drink.
- Optional: Crown the frappuccino with a billowy cloud of whipped cream for an indulgent finishing touch.
- Serve immediately while the drink remains icy cold, using a wide straw to capture the full spectrum of fruity flavors.
Notes
- Swap dairy milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk for a vegan-friendly version that’s equally delicious and creamy.
- Freeze fresh blueberries and pineapple chunks beforehand to create an extra thick, frosty texture without watering down the drink.
- Use frozen yogurt or Greek yogurt instead of milk for a protein-packed smoothie that feels more like a substantial meal replacement.
- Experiment with different honey alternatives like agave syrup or maple syrup for unique flavor profiles that complement the tropical fruit blend.
