    4 cups Ice, 2 cups chopped pineapple, 1 cup water, ¼ cup white granulated sugar
  • Unless your blender is pretty powerful, you’ll need a tamper to help the blender grab all the chunks. If you don't have a tamper, simply turn off the machine, and scrape down the sides with a spatula before blending again.
  • Pour into glasses, top with two pineapple leaves, or a chunk of pineapple, and enjoy!

Notes

Making Ahead/Storing
I do not recommend making this recipe in advance as it’s truly best right after being made. It does not keep in the fridge or freezer well.
Pineapple 
I always stick with fresh pineapple because it yields the best results, but canned pineapple can be used, if necessary. If you want to use the pineapple juice, you’ll need to change the amount of water used.
Sweetener
The sugar is important as it keeps the ice from seizing. However, a sugar substitute that’s similar, like monk fruit sweetener, works well.
If you want it sweeter, double the sugar, but be warned, it buries the pineapple flavor if you make it too sweet.
I have made this using honey, maple syrup, and agave syrup as well, and it has worked fine, but was a little harder to blend without the granulated sugar.
