Pineapple Skinny Shake Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:
1 small 3-ounce can of crushed pineapple packed in its natural juice (180 calories)
1 cup of reduced fat ice cream (100 calories per serving)
1 dash of ground nutmeg
1 splash of vanilla extract & pineapple extract (optional)

No need to drain the pineapple. Simply place all of the above into a blender or a Magic Bullet and blend. Pour into some beautiful crystal glasses - or any type of peek-a-boo beverage ware. Add a kicky umbrella if desired as well as a shot of light whipped cream or fat free topping to the finished skinny shake.

This recipe serves two generously for about 140 calories each. It goes wonderfully well with a sandwich prepared with whole grain bread, lean proteins, reduced fat cheese and fresh vegetables. Add a smear of mustard - and you're good to go.

Pineapple Cake, a Diet Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:
1 small 3-ounce can of crushed pineapple packed in its natural juice
1 box of pineapple cake mix
1/4 cup of chopped walnuts
1 single serving of plain or pineapple yogurt
2 eggs

Place the dry cake mix into a mixing bowl. Substitute the recommended amount of water with the pineapple juice. Add the eggs and yogurt and beat for the recommended time on the box.

Carefully stir in the pineapple and walnuts. Bake as directed on the package. The pineapple will take the place of the oil, thus rendering a beautiful, moist cake without all of those unwanted calories.

Pineapple Fruit Salad, a low calorie recipe for dieters

Dieters tend to live on salad but they are almost-always vegetable based. This recipe gives a wink to the healthy Fruit Group with the star of the show being the tasty pineapple.

Your will need the following ingredients to prepare this homemade fruit salad recipe:

1 medium size can of pineapple chunks packed in natural juice
1/4 cup of the sweet jarred cherries - fully drained
1 can of mandarin oranges packed in sweet juice
1 can of your favorite high-quality fruit cocktail packed in natural juice
1/2 cup of mini marshmallows
1/4 cup of your favorite chopped nuts (we like pecans or walnuts in this recipe)
2 Tablespoons of light or dark brown sugar

Simply mix all of the above ingredients. You can also add just a bit of grated coconut if you wish. And of course, you can add some reduced calorie whipped topping or whipped cream.
