Ingredients Notes
The key to this frappuccino’s incredible flavor is using fresh, high-quality ingredients. Here’s what makes each component special.
Frozen pineapple chunks bring the tropical sweetness that makes this drink so refreshing. Using frozen fruit helps create that thick, icy texture without needing extra ice, which can dilute the flavor.
Blueberries add a delightful tartness and a deep, rich color. Fresh or frozen both work well, but frozen blueberries will give you an extra frosty texture.
Milk of choice is what makes this frappuccino creamy and smooth. Whole milk works great for a richer taste, while almond or oat milk keeps it dairy-free.
Greek yogurt adds a touch of creaminess and a boost of protein. If you want a dairy-free option, coconut yogurt is a fantastic alternative.
Honey or maple syrup is optional, but a small drizzle enhances the natural sweetness of the fruit. If your pineapple is extra ripe, you may not need any sweetener at all.
How To Make This Pineapple Blueberry Frappuccino
Making this frappuccino is as easy as tossing everything into a blender and hitting the button. Let’s break it down step by step.
Start by adding your frozen pineapple chunks to the blender. Since they’re the hardest ingredient, placing them at the bottom helps them blend more smoothly.
Next, add the blueberries and Greek yogurt. The yogurt helps bind everything together while adding a creamy texture that makes the drink extra luxurious.
Pour in your milk of choice and blend on high. If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, you may need to stop and stir a few times or add a splash more milk to get things moving.
Once everything is smooth and thick, taste the frappuccino. If you’d like it a bit sweeter, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup and blend again.
Finally, pour into a tall glass and enjoy immediately! For an extra treat, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed freeze-dried blueberries.
Storage Options
This frappuccino is best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to store leftovers, pour them into an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a quick stir or shake before drinking.
For a make-ahead option, blend all the ingredients and pour the mixture into ice cube trays. When you’re ready to enjoy, just pop the cubes back into the blender with a little extra milk and blend until smooth.
Variations and Substitutions
This recipe is super flexible, so feel free to get creative and customize it to your liking.
For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk and coconut yogurt. This will give the frappuccino a tropical, piña colada-style twist.
Want an extra boost of energy? Add a teaspoon of matcha powder or a shot of espresso for a caffeine kick.
If you’re looking for a protein-packed version, swap the Greek yogurt for vanilla protein powder and use almond milk for a smooth, high-protein drink.
For an even fruitier flavor, throw in a few frozen mango chunks. The mango adds extra sweetness and pairs beautifully with both pineapple and blueberries.
Experiment and make this recipe your own! Whether you keep it classic or mix in some fun ingredients, this Pineapple Blueberry Frappuccino is always a refreshing treat.
