Frozen Pineapple Lemonade
Pineapple Lemonade Party in a Glass šš
Okay, so who else is obsessed with summer vibes? Like, can we just pretend itās always sunny and weāre sippinā on something icy and refreshing? I mean, Iāve been trying to find the perfect drink that screams āIām chillinā by the poolā but also āIām a responsible adult.ā Enter my frozen pineapple lemonade! šš¦

Okay, Letās Talk Ingredients
So, I hit up the grocery store for this one, right? Youāll need *2 cups of frozen pineapple chunks* (fresh is cool too, but frozen saves time and honestly, itās like a sorcery cheat code), *1 cup of coconut water* (or whatever you have on hand, but coconut water is like sunshine in a bottle), *1/2 cup of lemon juice* (freshly squeezed is always a win but donāt judge me if I grab the bottle sometimesā#lazylife), *1/4 cup maple syrup* (or more if youāre like, super sweet), and *1 cup of ice* (because duh). Oh, and some fresh mint leaves to make it look all fancy, even if we just chug it on the couch. š
So Hereās Why I Make This Constantly
Alright, so picture this: a hot Saturday afternoon, Iām trying to whip up something cool but not too complicated. My friends are coming over, and I want to impress them, ya know? I stumbled upon this recipe, and OMG, itās like tropical paradise in a cup! Weāre talking about blending this up, and itās so easy that even my dog could do it (okay, maybe not). But the best part? Itās like a flashback to summer vacations when weād sip on fruity drinks by the beach. š“š¹ Every time I make it, I feel like Iām on vacation, even if Iām just on my balcony.

(Another beautiful shot because we canāt get enough!)
The One Trick That Changes Everything
Okay, hereās the game changer: blend it on high speed until itās *super* smooth and creamy. But wait! When you add in the maple syrup, taste it. Seriously. I once added too much (thinking I was a sweet genius) and ended up with a drink that was basically a sugar bomb. Not cute. So, taste as you goātrust me!
Donāt Mess This Up (My Top Tips)
1. Frozen vs. Fresh: If you use fresh pineapple, freeze it first. Otherwise, youāll get a slushy thatās more like⦠mush.
2. Ice: Donāt skip the ice! Seriously. If youāre making it too thick, itāll just be pineapple glue.
3. Garnish: Mint isnāt just for looks! It adds a pop of fresh flavor that takes it from āwhateverā to āwow!ā
How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)
So, letās be real hereāthis drink probably wonāt last long. But if you have leftovers (congrats, youāve mastered portion control), just pop it in an airtight container in the freezer. When youāre ready for round two, blend it again with a splash of coconut water or lemonade to revive it. Itās like giving it a second life! š
