Instructions
Now, let’s get blending!
1. Blend the Fruit:
In a blender, combine the frozen pineapple and frozen blueberries. These fruits are the foundation of the flavor, so make sure they’re frozen for that perfect slushy texture!
2. Add the Liquid:
Pour in your choice of coconut milk (or almond milk) along with a splash of vanilla extract. If you’re using honey or another sweetener, add it in at this stage.
3. Add Ice:
Throw in a handful of ice to give it that icy, frappuccino-like consistency. If you prefer a thicker drink, add more ice—if you like it a little thinner, use less.
4. Blend It All Together:
Blend until smooth and frosty. You want the texture to be creamy and slushy, with no large chunks of ice remaining. Feel free to scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary.
5. Serve & Enjoy:
Pour your vibrant, icy concoction into a tall glass. Top with whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence, and add a fun straw if you’re feeling festive.
