Do you love the flavor of pina colada as much as I do? It really says summer to me and it is a taste I don't want to give up in order to lose weight. The good news is that on Weight Watchers you don't have to give anything up…just have to count it. I made a couple of modifications to these Weight Watchers Pina Colada Popsicles to save even more points! They turned out delicious!
Weight Watchers Pina Colada Popsicles
When I first saw this Skinny Pina Colada Popsicle recipe over on Community Table I knew it would be easy to adapt it to make even more Weight Watchers Friendly.
I love how easy it can be to modify recipes to make them healthier and to save freestyle smartpoints. Yippee!
One big change I made was to swap out the white sugar for a no-calorie sweetener. I used Pyure
How to Make Weight Watchers Pina Colada Popsicles
If you don't have pineapple chunks
Puree the pineapple along with the pineapple juice in a blender with the Pyure
Pour into popsicle molds and freeze. It took mine about 4 hours to get totally frozen.
Be sure to use the full size popsicle molds
Stay on Track
I have figured out to fail on Weight Watchers after many, many failures. Since I am trying to beat my record of failing….it really helps to keep things on hand like these popsicles.
If I can grab one of these instead of a cookie or piece of cake then I am doing great!
What things do you do to stay on track? Do you like to meal plan each weekend?
Weight Watchers Pina Colada Popsicles are a delightfully fresh sweet frozen treat! These are only
- 1 ⅓ cups canned diced pineapple in juice
- ¼ cup pineapple juice from the can of pineapple
- ¼ cup Pyure zero calorie sweetener granulated--not liquid
- ½ cup light coconut milk liquid, not canned
- 1 tsp coconut extract
-
Cut the pineapple into chunks if you don't have diced pineapple available.
-
Puree the pineapple along with the juice in a blender with the Pyure, light coconut milk, coconut extract, until smooth.
-
Pour into full size popsicle molds and freeze.
This recipe has a TOTAL of 4 Freestyle SmartPoints. Making 6 popsicles comes out to 1 point each.
Be sure to figure out the recipe based on the ingredients YOU use! The only items that have points are the pineapple juice and the lite coconut milk. I used SO Delicious Organic Lite Coconut Milk Beverage. It has 70 calories per cup. You may use a coconut milk with less. Don't use the canned coconut milk.
This recipe was adapted from a SkinnyTaste recipe found on Community Table.
