Finding treats that align with the Weight Watchers program can be tough if you are trying to stay within your points range. The end of the week rolls around and you just want a sweet treat that won’t push you over your limits, it happens to us all.
How do I count this Weight Watchers Dole Whip?
This Weight Watchers Dole Whip recipe is just 2 Blue Plan Points, 2 Green Plan Points, or 2 Purple Plan 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!

How to make a WW dole whip:
It’s really easy to make a dole whip. They’re delicious as a dessert alternative and since they are low in points you can enjoy this tasty treat on Weight Watchers Freestyle with relatively little sacrifice!
- Combine ingredients in a food processor and blend until no large chunks appear.
- Can be kept in the fridge for a day and still be served.
- Serve within 24 hours for best results and taste.
What are the points for this recipe when made with milk?
For Weight Watchers each serving is 2 Blue Plan Points, 2 Green Plan Points, or 2 Purple Plan Points. If you want to reduce those points you can use almond milk. You’d use the same amount, 3/4 of a cup for one serving. Almond milk makes this recipe only 1 Blue Plan Point, 1 Green Plan Point, or 1 Purple Plan Point.

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
