Frozen Pineapple Lemonade

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Double fruity, extra frosty, and bursting with tangy tropical flavor–this Frozen Pineapple Lemonade is the perfect easy summertime blender beverage!
[wprm-recipe-jump]

Frozen Pineapple Lemonade (without added sugar!)

Is it lemonade? Is it a smoothie? Is it a frosty? YES.

Frozen Pineapple Lemonade (without added sugar!)

When I was a little tot and the uncommon occasion arose where I got to have a non-water beverage, lemonade was my jam. If it came in pink, I got pink. Did I know why it was pink? Nope. But when you are under the age of ten you don’t ask those kinds of irrelevant questions. It could’ve been purple with sparkly gold swirls and electric blue bubbles for all I cared. If it tasted like lemonade, it was lemonade enough for me.

What I was NOT okay with was limeade. I remember that traumatic citrus drink-swap experience all too vividly. What sort of restaurant offers limeade but not lemonade? One that 7 year old me will never visit again, that’s for sure. Me and limeade are good now, but it’s still not my first choice.

Frozen Pineapple Lemonade (without added sugar!)

Anyways…lemonade needs to be made with not limes and it needs to be suh-weet! My short lived morning lemon water kick helped me become sorta okay with tangy lemon things, but sugar is a thing and in my frozen lemonade I’m going to use it. By sugar I mean fruit sugar. By fruit sugar I mean pineapple, of the frozen variety if we are going to be specific.

Frozen pineapple is super sweet but way less banana-y in flavor than bananas, which are always the first instinct when it comes to making frozen smoothie-ish things. I also dabbled in a coconut ice cube based version, but it wasn’t sweet enough and those muffin-shaped cubes (because apparently I don’t actually own an ice cube tray) melted in like 8 seconds while I was busy adjusting my camera for the ideal video angle. Ingredients gotta have more stamina than that to do a video shoot with me.

So frozen pineapple won. And the grand prize was being blended up at top speed with lemon juice and coconut milk to create something so thick and creamy and lemon dreamy!

Frozen Pineapple Lemonade (without added sugar!)

If you aren’t borderline obsessed with coconut milk like me, feel free to swap in your favorite kind of nut/seed/whatever milk. OR…use coconut water! Sure it won’t be as creamy, but it will be especially sweet. And frozen pineapple has more creaminess power all on it’s own than you might expect.

This is one of those measuring-optional recipes, so don’t fret if you add a little more pineapple than called for or only zest 3/4 of the lemon. I like to blend, taste, and then adjust. Not sweet enough? Add more pineapple. Too ice-creamy (as if that exists)? Add more milk. You get me.

You may be wondering if it tastes like lemonade with a hint of pineapple or pineapple with a hint of lemon. That’s something that I’m still pondering too. I think the answer is that they meld so well, it doesn’t even matter. Just pinelemonapple-ing all day. That’s going to be a kombucha flavor one day, just you wait…

Frozen Pineapple Lemonade (without added sugar!)

So break out your thick straw (or maybe even a spoon) because this one is double-fruity and extra-frosty!

    Dreamy, creamy and icy!! “Who actually owns an ice cube tray?” Um, ME! Haha! As you saw from my lemonade milkshake! Girl, I’ve had those ice cube trays for years and they cost a dollar at my local grocery store, so they are certainly the cheapest investment! These remind me a little of dolewhip with the pineapple at Disneyworld! My daughter would love this. Like, guzzle it down super fast style! Unfortunately, for me, I hate pineapples like bananas, but I think we discussed this before, haha! This is so perfect for the weather now too because it’s so warm and getting humid here in Texas. I’m definitely going to have to try this out sometime for Olivia. She absolutely LOVES the lemonade milkshake I posted but she LOVES the dolewhip too and I think she would be all giddy over this one too! Running to fridge to see if we have any frozen pineapple!

      I actually had some ice cube tray envy when I saw yours in the video, not only because I was working on this recipe at the time and could’ve used one but also because its a really fun shape that could double as really cute little candy molds 🙂 We used to have one, no clue what happened to it. But since every freezer has the little dispenser thing now the only time I use it is for frozen recipes. Omg I feel you on the heat!! I just finished a photoshoot and am legit sweating just sitting here typing right now because the oven is on lol. Ha yeah it is totally like dolewhip meets lemonade! I still need to try dolewhip one of these days–Disney its been too long 😀

    Suuuuch a genius idea! I love lemonade, too, and I have such a sweet tooth that it has GOT to be sweet, so this looks just about perfect to me. Although, the option with “sparkly gold swirls/electric blue bubbles sounds pretty fantastic, too! Seriously though, this would’ve been fun and frosty on it’s own without the coconut milk, but I LOVE that addition, probably so much thicker and creamier. Excited to have this to try now that it’s getting warmer!!

      Ha we have such similar tastebuds it’s awesome! Right?! After typing that I totally wanted to create the psychedelic swirl/bubble version…although that sounds like an awful lot of work for lemonade lol. Yay for summer sooooon!!

    I can’t wait for it to get warm so I can try this frosty concoction! I love the pairing of turmeric and pineapple – the spiciness of the turmeric perfectly cuts the sweetness of the pineapple. And the creamy coconut milk is the perfect finish for both!

      I’m not sure what sort of weird coincidence it is that turmeric pairs so well with most yellow fruits, but I totally agree! Mmm yes, coconut milk and it’s creaminess are always welcome in my blender beverages 🙂

    Whatever it is, I want it!!! So did you change your outfit to a wonderfully pink outfit?? And tell me more about this would-be sparkly gold swirled with electric blue bubble lemonade. Could this be a future FoF creation? Perhaps a Galaxy Lemonade?? 😉 Okay, now I have to make a mental note to NEVER offer you limemade, but not lemonade. Lol. I know you’ve made nice with it since, but STILL. Besties don’t like to take risky chances like that. 😉 This frozen pineapple lemonade awesomeness sounds sooooo good. It might as well have sparkly gold swirls and come with an electric blue outfit. Or something. Haha. Love ya! Talk soon. xoxo

      You can offer me limeade, just expect a NO. But don’t ever blindfold me, tell me it’s lemonade, and sneakily pass me the straw–I would not be a happy citrus-sipping camper😜 Probably smart not to risk it though, plus why waste all those limes when we could make pie with them or something much much better! Ha need to work on my recipe-outfit coordination…I knew I should’ve tried harder to learn to sew😂 Happy weekend eve💜💜

    hah. I think I only had lemonade for the first time as an adult. As a kid it was always strawberry banana smoothies, a chocolate or vanilla shake, or coke (😝). But I do love the mix of pineapple and lemon juice together and this creamy little drink is calling my name…

    P.S. totally random, but what’s your straw thickness? 🙂

      At first reading your beverage list I was like “whoa little Audrey was so healthy!” But then it kinda took a turn towards the end lol. Omg so I was just comparing glass straw thickness–that one is 9.5 mm thick. Smaller seems to work better in pics 🙂

        Hmmm… interesting. I just ordered an 8mm a week ago (not for pics, for personal use) and am a little worried it won’t be big enough for smoothies… Thinking I should have gone for the 9.5 instead now 😮

        And lol. Nope, little Audrey was full of candy 😀 but always liked her fruit.

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
