Dole Whip Weight Watchers 3 Freestyle SmartPoints
This dole whip Weight Watchers recipe is just 3 Freestyle SmartPoints per serving. If you use unsweetened almond milk it drops way back it just 1 Freestyle SmartPoint!
Weight Watchers Note: there’s a rule about blended fruit and counting those for points. Since this is eaten with a spoon and not technically a drink, I don’t count it! As always, it’s important that you count things according to your individual needs and plan!! If you are worried about that rule and eating this recipe excessively use this recipe alteration: 3/4 cup almond milk, 1 cup pineapple and make it a two serving treat and it’s only 2 points (even when calculated as a drink)!
We can all spare a few points at the end of the day right?!

Unless you are a rebel like me, technically you are supposed to count the points for blended fruit.
Judi Gott says
I never understood that rule…..
Christine says
I don’t know why, but turning carbs into a liquid has a greater impact on the bloodstream. I heard this from a diabetes educator
Ria says
Apparently the fiber in the fruit gets completely broken down in a blender and then doesn’t do the same job in your body and that’s why you should count it as points. Also pineapple is one of the more sugary fruits so be cautious about how much you eat that you don’t count as points. Hope this is helpful.

You eat this with a spoon, so the fruit is zero. It’s when you drink blended fruit in a smoothie that it is pointed.
Meagen Brosius says
That is what I was figuring as well! I will update and make a note so others know that they have to decide for themselves if they’ll count the pineapple or not :) Thanks for the reminder everyone!

Pam says
Pineapple is free only the milk will count if left chunky. Excellent will try for sure
Cindy Firmin says
The recipe doesn’t say it, but shouldn’t this be frozen? The dole whips at Disneyworld are frozen. Am I missing something?
Jennifer says
This is actually 10 smart points not 3. Check the box for this is a drink in the recipe builder.
Meagen says
Hi Jennifer,
We actually discussed this in the comments above and I have noted in the post itself so people are aware that if they blend this thin enough to drink through a straw they need to count the points for the fruit! I personally don’t count the points for the fruit when I’m eating the recipe with a spoon which I noted in the comments and post. I’m sorry if it was confusing for you!
Lindsey says
Should you freeze the pineapple first? I found another similar recipe but it was frozen pineapple and non fat yogurt, but I wasn’t wanting the yogurt taste even though it would be 0 smartpoints.
Also for those not understanding why you don’t need to count the fruit, on the weight watchers website it specifically states you only need to count fruit and vegetables if they are being blended into a DRINK or a SAUCE. The reason is it’s empty calories and not keeping you full. If you AREN’T blending it to complete smoothness like in a drink/smoothie/shake you still have the fiber which counters out the sugar. If you are eating it you also are using it to curb hunger and burn calories while chewing. You burn less calories drinking. This is also why in many sauce recipes they use crushed tomatoes rather than premaid tomato sauce as a base because crushed tomatoes still have some of the fiber and can be counted as 0 smartpoints. The point of this rule is to encourage you to not just drink your calories and to make sure you eat them and chew them up. Icecream requires chewing and it is considered a snack so you are using it to stay full. If I didn’t end my night with my healthier “Nice”cream I would probably run to the chips. I’m always hungry a couple hours after dinner.

Hi Lindsey,
You can freeze the pineapple if you want! It would certainly be more of a frozen treat that way. I leave mine chunky no matter if I freeze the pineapple or not but I’d bet freezing the pineapple would make this even better for the summer!
Also, thanks for the notes on the drinks / WW points! It’s definitely been something that has come up on several occasions here and I always try and explain my reasoning for the points calculations as best I can. Never hurts to have as much info as possible on the subject :)
