Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks preferably ripe and juicy
  • 1/2 cup coconut water preferably chilled
  • 1 cup ice cubes adjust for desired thickness
  • 1 teaspoon fresh pineapple zest for added flavor

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Add the fresh pineapple chunks, coconut water, and ice cubes into your blender.
  2. Blend everything on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frosty, about 30-45 seconds. The ice should be fully crushed and the drink should feel icy and cold to the touch.
  3. Sprinkle in the fresh pineapple zest and give the mixture a brief pulse to incorporate the zest evenly—just 2-3 seconds.
  4. Pause briefly to check the consistency; the drink should be thick, icy, and resemble a slushie. If it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut water and blend again.
  5. Pour the slushie into chilled glasses, allowing the icy texture to settle slightly on top with a frosty appearance.
  6. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, enjoying the cool, vibrant flavors and refreshing texture.
