Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can use canned pineapple to make these milkshakes. But choose a variety that does not have added sugar, and be sure to completely drain the juices.
Drain the juice into a container with a lid, and keep in the fridge to drink or use in other recipes!
You can, but the frozen fruit will make the shakes super thick. You’ll likely want to thin them out a bit with a splash or two of milk while blending.
If you do choose to use frozen fruit, don’t thaw it first! Thawing fruit releases a lot of moisture, which could make your milkshakes watery.
The best way to make a thicker milkshake is to blend in more ice cream.
