Here’s reason number 1 why I love this recipe – you can use things you may otherwise just throw out: the pineapple core and the water leftover from making coconut whipped cream. Heck, you can TOP this with coconut whipped cream!
Last week, I asked you not to throw this nectar out — cream may rise to the top but the water below is just as valuable. In fact, I always eat pineapples in the summer and could always use whipped cream. So now, I’m making very efficient use of my ingredients. Zero waste if I compost the pineapple peel! Love it.
Here’s the promised recipe:
Pineapple Coconut Mint Slush
1 heaping cup chopped pineapple or the core of 1 pineapple
1 cup coconut water (or the leftover water from making the coconut whipped cream)
5 or more mint leaves
Juice of 1/2 lime (optional)
1 T agave or maple syrup (optional)
Blend all ingredients together until smooooooooth.
I think I am a little bit in love with you for this post, and the whipped cream.
Awww! Love it :)
OMG — ever since I found your website last week, I have been making this drink every day for either a mid-morning boost or to help me w/my mid-afternoon slump. It picks me up and gets me going!! Love the mint/coconut/pineapple combination. Delicious!! Thank you!
So glad you found the BK and love the smoothie! let me know if there are stuff you need ideas with and I’ll try to oblige! :)
