ALICE'S TIPS:

  1. If you usually don't drink pineapple juice, buy a carton of the 6-ounce cans of pineapple juice rather than a larger container. You'll be ready to make this treat whenever you like! You may have a few tablespoons of juice left in the 6-ounce can when making this recipe -- just add it an open container of juice, such as orange juice, in the refrigerator.

  2. Any extra shake may be poured into popsicle molds and frozen for later enjoyment. Or make an extra shake just for the purpose of making popsicles!

  3. A no calorie sweetener can be substituted for the sugar in this recipe.

  4. If you make half this recipe, be aware a large blender that is wide at the bottom may not thoroughly mix the shake. Rather, the ingredients may just spin around the bottom. If you have problems making single-serving shakes and smoothies, you may need to purchase a smaller blender that is narrow at the bottom.
