Equipment

  • The Nutr Machine or a blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut or coconut cream
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rum or up to 4 tablespoons. For mocktails, sub with 1 tablespoon maple syrup or coconut sugar.
  • filtered water or plant-based milk; see instructions for amount for Nutr and blender options

Garnish ideas

  • 2 lime wedges
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 2 freeze dried pineapple slices
  • 2 sprigs pineapple mint

Instructions

  • Add the pineapple, coconut, syrup, and rum (or, for mocktails, 1 tablespoon maple syrup or coconut sugar) to The Nutr Machine, then add enough filtered water to reach the Max line. Press no heat and let it run once. After it stops, press it again to run a second time, creating a smoother blend. Pour into two cocktail glasses and garnish as desired. Enjoy immediately.

If using a blender instead of the Nutr

  • Use ½-1 cup of water or plant-based milk to blend the ingredients in your blender until smooth, starting on the lowest setting and moving up gradually.

Notes

Note:  The Nutr user manual recommends letting the machine rest for at least an hour after running the machine twice in order to prolong the life of the machine.
The Nutr is really nice in that it's very hands free.
If using a blender, you will likely need to stop and scrape down the bits on the sides, then start it up again to blend thoroughly.
