Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks preferably pre-frozen for best texture
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice adds zesty brightness
  • 1/2 cup cold water or coconut water to loosen the mixture if needed
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional, for extra sweetness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cup

Method
 

  1. Measure out the frozen pineapple chunks and add them to your blender, ensuring they are evenly packed for a smooth blend.
  2. Pour in the fresh lime juice, which brightens the flavor and enhances the tropical aroma.
  3. Add half a cup of cold water or coconut water to help the mixture blend smoothly and achieve a slushy consistency.
  4. If you like your slushie a bit sweeter, stir in a tablespoon of honey before blending.
  5. Secure the lid and blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds, until the mixture is vibrant yellow, thick, and icy with a slushy texture.
  6. Stop the blender and check the texture—if it's too thick, add a splash more water and blend briefly again; if too watery, add more frozen pineapple and blend until desired consistency is reached.
  7. Pour the slushie into chilled glasses, allowing the icy mixture to settle slightly for a smooth, plush appearance.
  8. Garnish with a small wedge of lime or a pineapple slice if desired for a tropical touch.
  9. Serve immediately with a straw, and enjoy the refreshing, icy burst of tropical flavor.

Notes

Use pre-frozen pineapple chunks for best texture. Adjust the amount of water to control thickness. Add extra citrus or honey to tailor sweetness and zest.
