Ingredients
Scale
Fruits and Frozen Ingredients:
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- A few blueberries
- Pineapple slices
Dairy and Sweeteners:
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (or regular milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
- Whipped cream
Flavor Enhancers and Garnishes:
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- Crushed ice

Instructions
- Prepare the blender and gather all the ingredients: frozen pineapple chunks, frozen blueberries, vanilla ice cream, coconut milk, honey, and lime juice.
- Pour the frozen fruits, ice cream, coconut milk, honey, and lime juice into the blender, ensuring all ingredients are measured correctly.
- Blend the mixture thoroughly until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency, periodically pausing to scrape down the sides of the blender.
- If the mixture appears too thick, introduce additional coconut milk or a few ice cubes to achieve the desired texture.
- Select serving glasses and carefully pour the frappuccino, leaving sufficient space at the top for the whipped cream topping.
- Create a luxurious swirl of whipped cream on top of each frappuccino, ensuring an even and attractive presentation.
- Enhance the visual appeal by sprinkling shredded coconut over the whipped cream.
- Artfully garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves, a few whole blueberries, and a delicate slice of pineapple.
- For an extra burst of flavor and nutrition, consider adding a sprinkle of chia seeds or a subtle splash of passion fruit juice.
- Serve immediately and relish the tropical fusion of vibrant pineapple and blueberry flavors in this refreshing beverage.
Notes
- Swap dairy ice cream with coconut or almond milk-based alternatives for a vegan version that maintains creamy texture.
- Reduce honey for a less sweet drink by using stevia or cutting amount by half, perfect for those watching sugar intake.
- Freeze fresh fruit in advance to create a thicker, more slushy-like consistency without diluting flavors with additional ice.
- Create a protein-packed version by adding a scoop of vanilla or neutral-flavored protein powder during blending for post-workout nutrition.
