Instructions
- Blend Pineapple Mixture: In a blender, combine frozen pineapple chunks, ½ cup milk, ¼ cup pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon honey or agave (if using), and half the ice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer this mixture to a serving glass and set aside.
- Clean Blender: Rinse the blender thoroughly to prevent mixing the flavors too much and maintain the swirled presentation.

- Create Swirl Effect: Carefully pour or spoon the strawberry mixture over the pineapple layer in the glass to create a striking swirled effect. Use a straw or spoon to lightly swirl the two layers together gently for a marbled appearance.
- Add Toppings: Top with whipped cream if desired, and garnish with freeze-dried strawberry or pineapple bits for extra texture and flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Perfect Pineapple Strawberry Swirled Frappuccino right away for the best taste and texture.
