Check out this healthier, refreshing Pineapple Passionfruit beverage

While pineapple might have become the summer’s favorite flavor, not all pineapple beverages are equal. Although that sip can be quite refreshing, no one wants to overindulge. Why not shake up this refreshing Pineapple Passionfruit beverage at home and save both on calories and dollars spent.

This summer, pineapple has been everywhere. From beverages to recipes, that tropical flavor is filling the table. It isn’t that pineapple hasn’t always been tasty, it just seems that more people are enjoying it.

Although many people are craving the flavor, some people would prefer to keep their food choices balanced.

Grabbing that beverage from the drive-thru might be convenient, but some people may prefer to avoid the unwanted extras.

Dole has a tasty solution that brings all the flavor that people crave yet has a nod to a healthier choice. Ready to sip on this refreshing beverage?
