Easy swaps
- Use refrigerated unsweetened coconut milk beverage for a lighter, less creamy drink.
- Use fresh pineapple plus one full cup of ice when frozen pineapple is unavailable.
- Add one teaspoon maple syrup only when the pineapple is not fully ripe.
Mixpert tips
- Shake canned light coconut milk before measuring because it can separate.
- Start with less ice and add more only if the drink needs thickening.
