Around our house, we often make these yummy shakes. To make the shakes healthier, we substitute fat-free milk and ice cubes for the ice cream. They are fast and nutritious! —Polly Coumos, Mogadore, Ohio

To mknuth thanks for answering my question. I thought that might be the case but didn't want to make it too thin with the other 1/2 cup of juice. thanks again.

To marian08: If a recipe doesn't indicate draining the liquid ~ as is the case with the crushed pineapple here ~ then I think you should use the whole can, juice and all. Hope this helps!

I omitted the sugar and extracts and used coconut milk. Very good for a hot summer day.

one question. Since the recipe adds 1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple juice, do you still add the juice that is in the 8 oz. can of crushed pineapple. It sounds delicious and can't wait to try it. I love pineapple. please answer ASAP so I can try this smoothie.

Yummy! I approximated the measurements and made one serving. I personally don't think the recipe needs the sugar (or sweetener) I am a sugar lover and found it very sweet. Next time I will try it without and see how it turns out.

I used Splenda instead of sugar and it came out just as nice and since mom and I are both diabetic, we really loved this.
