Powdered erythritol blends smoothly.

β FAQs
Can I use fresh pineapple instead of frozen?
Yes, but freeze it first to achieve the right texture.
Is there a lower-fat version?
Use light coconut milk or almond milk, though it will be less creamy.
Can I add protein powder?
Yes! Add 1 scoop unflavored or vanilla low-carb protein powder when blending.
What if I donβt have a blender?
A food processor works well. If neither is available, let the pineapple thaw completely and mash by hand (texture will be less smooth).
