Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: If using fresh pineapple, cut it into chunks and set aside 3 cups. Then squeeze the orange and lime juice.
- Blend: In a high-speed blender, combine the pineapple chunks, coconut water, orange juice, lime juice, sugar, mint leaves, and coconut cream.
- Adjust Consistency: Blend until smooth. Then add the ice cubes and blend again until you reach the desired slushie texture. See notes about how much ice to use.
- Serve: Pour the slushie into glasses. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a fresh pineapple wedge for an extra tropical touch.

Notes
- ICE: If you’re using fresh pineapple instead of frozen, add two full cups of ice. If you use frozen pineapple, start with 1 cup of ice and adjust based on your preferred consistency.
- Storage Tip: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week. Thaw slightly and stir before serving.
- Recipe Tip: Ensure you have a strong blender to handle the frozen pineapple effectively. For the best slushie texture, pulse the blender rather than running it continuously.
