Ingredients in Weight Watchers Dole Whip
Frozen ingredients work best in the recipe! If you don’t have frozen ingredients, use ice in the food processor or blender.
- Fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple really packs the pineapple flavor into the whip. Frozen pineapple can also be substituted.
- Low-fat Milk: Almond milk can be substituted to provide a dairy-free alternative.
- Bananas: Bananas add a pinch of sweetness without any additional added sugar.
- Ice
How to make a Weight Watchers Dole Whip in the Food Processor
Our delicious Dole Whip is an easy recipe to make and enjoy. With a few simple steps and healthy ingredients, you’ll be enjoying this cold delicious pineapple treat without having to own an ice cream maker!
As a delicious dessert alternative, you’ll be able to enjoy this healthy dole whip recipe from the comfort of your own home. This is a recipe that you and your family will be making for a long time to come!
- Measure out milk. Pour into the bottom of the food processor. If you don’t have a food processor, a high-speed blender will still do the trick with extra blending time.
- Roughly slice large chunks of fresh pineapple and place in the food processor or blender. If you have time to freeze the pineapple, do that first!
- Peel and mash bananas. Place in food processor. Again, if you have time to freeze these first it’s best.
- Blend in the food processor until ingredients are combined and no large pineapple chunks remain. If your ingredients were not frozen, go ahead and add ice to your food processor or blender until you get the consistency you’d like. Once the pineapple chunks are gone, you have found the right consistency.
- Serve within 24 hours for best results and taste. Place in an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator.
Recipe Tips
- This recipe can easily be made dairy-free by substituting low-fat milk for almond milk. Use the same amount of milk listed in the recipe.
Weight Watchers Points
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!
This Weight Watchers Dole Whip recipe is: 2 Blue Plan Points | 2 Green Plan Points | 2 Purple Plan Points.
By substituting almond milk, you can lower your points in half. With this recipe modification your points are only 1 Blue Plan Point | 1 Green Plan Point |1 Purple Plan Point.
Still using Freestyle Points? This recipe has 3 freestyle points.

Nutrition
Unless you are a rebel like me, technically you are supposed to count the points for blended fruit.
I never understood that rule…..
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
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.
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!
I never understood that rule…..
Pineapple is free only the milk will count if left chunky. Excellent will try for sure
The recipe doesn’t say it, but shouldn’t this be frozen? The dole whips at Disneyworld are frozen. Am I missing something?
This is actually 10 smart points not 3. Check the box for this is a drink in the recipe builder.
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!
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 :)
I’m going to try making a WW friendly DIY Dole Whip recipe (original from Dole site), but will substitute with plain NF Greek Yogurt and add a banana. I have a Vitamix blender, but should work in a food processor too.
1 cup ripe DOLE® pineapple, chopped and frozen
1 ripe DOLE® Banana, peeled and frozen
2-1/2 teaspoons powdered sugar (may use sugar substitute of your choice)
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (will substitute 1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt, Fage is my favorite)
1 teaspoon lime juice
