This Protein Dole Whip is a healthier version of the classic Disney treat, made with protein powder to keep you full and satisfied. It’s fruity, creamy, and just the right balance of sweet and refreshing—plus, it’s low in points!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (use a WW-friendly brand or your favorite protein powder)
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on your sweetness preference)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)

Instructions:

  1. Blend the Ingredients: In a high-speed blender or food processor, add the frozen pineapple chunks, almond milk, protein powder, honey/maple syrup, and vanilla extract (if using).
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a bit more almond milk, a tablespoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency.
  3. Freeze for Texture: For a more frozen treat, place the mixture in a bowl or silicone mold and freeze for about 30 minutes. This will give it a more “soft-serve” texture.
  4. Serve & Enjoy: Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately. You can garnish with a little extra pineapple or even a sprinkle of coconut for extra tropical flavor!

WW Points (Approximate):

  • SmartPoints: This Protein Dole Whip is around 2-4 SmartPoints per serving, depending on the specific protein powder and sweetener you use.

Pro Tips:

  • Protein Powder: Be sure to use a protein powder that mixes well and doesn’t have a strong aftertaste. A vanilla-flavored protein powder is ideal for this recipe.
  • Frozen Fruit: Using frozen pineapple gives it that classic Dole Whip texture, so don’t skip this step!
  • Make It Creamy: If you want a creamier texture, you can swap some of the almond milk for Greek yogurt or a small amount of coconut milk, but this might increase the points slightly.
  • Flavor Variations: Add a few frozen mango chunks or a squeeze of lime juice for a twist on the classic pineapple flavor.

This Homemade Protein Dole Whip is a refreshing and protein-packed dessert that feels indulgent while being kind to your WW points. It’s a great post-workout treat, snack, or healthy dessert option. Enjoy!
