This creamy pineapple whip is the ultimate 3-ingredient tropical treat! Made with frozen pineapple, banana, and coconut milk, it blends up in just 5 minutes and tastes like a healthy Dole Whip dupe. Dairy-free, naturally sweet, and totally refreshing—your new go-to summer snack!
- 2 cup Frozen Pineapple
- 1/2 Frozen Banana
- 1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
- 1/4 cup Collagen Protein Powder
1. Add to blender: cottage cheese, collagen protein, pineapple, and banana to a high-speed blender or food processor.
2. Blend until smooth and creamy: scraping down the sides as needed.
3. Serve immediately: for a soft-serve texture.
4. For a firmer treat: transfer to a container and freeze for 1–2 hours. Let sit at room temp for 20 minutes before scooping and serving.
Ingredient Notes:
- Pineapple: Use frozen chunks for the best texture. Fresh pineapple can be frozen ahead.
- Banana: Adds sweetness and creaminess. Can use slightly overripe for more flavor.
- Cottage Cheese: Low-fat or full-fat both work great. Makes it ultra creamy without tasting “cheesy” and high in protein!
- Collagen Protein: Adds protein without altering flavor or texture. Can substitute with unflavored or vanilla protein powder of your choice.
Customization Ideas:
- Protein Options: Swap collagen for vanilla protein powder. Add a spoonful of nut butter for extra protein, fats and flavor.
- Scaling: Double recipe to serve a group or freeze in individual portions. Use mini cups or molds for popsicles!
- Meal Prep: Portion ingredients into freezer bags for grab-and-blend convenience. Make a batch and freeze for the week
- Substitutes: For dairy-free: Use coconut yogurt or frozen silken tofu instead of cottage cheese. Add fresh mint, lime juice, or shredded coconut for flavor boosts.
Storage Instructions:
Freezer: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Let sit out 15–20 minutes before scooping to soften texture
