Ingredients
Instructions

- Whirl on the 'frappe' cycle until smooth and thick.
- Pour into tall glasses and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using full-fat yogurt or milk. If fresh peaches are out of season, canned peaches work just as well. Adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more honey or sugar. You can also experiment by adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fruit, making it a versatile choice for summer days.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Pineapple-Peach Frappes in tall glasses for a refreshing treat. They pair beautifully with light snacks like Pies or can be enjoyed as a breakfast option. For an extra touch, garnish with a slice of peach or a sprig of mint. Enjoy them alongside a light salad or as a complement to Protein Cheesecake for a delightful summer meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The frappe may separate over time, so give it a good stir before serving. If you want to enjoy it cold again, blend it briefly to restore the texture, but avoid freezing as it may alter the consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen pineapple and peaches for this recipe. Just make sure to let them thaw slightly to help the blender puree them smoothly. Frozen fruit will also make your frappe colder and thicker, enhancing the refreshing quality of the drink.
Is there a non-dairy alternative for the milk?
Absolutely! You can substitute the milk with almond, coconut, or oat milk to make this frappe dairy-free. Each alternative will lend a unique flavor, so choose one that suits your taste. This makes the recipe suitable for those following vegan or lactose-free diets.
How can I make this recipe more filling?
To make the frappe more filling, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of nut butter. This not only boosts the nutritional value but also provides a satisfying texture. Pairing it with a serving of Peanut Honey Slices makes for a great energy-boosting snack.
