BACK TO RESULTS \\ Diet & Nutrition Recipes Pineapple Punch

Ingredients

  • 1 quart pineapple juice
  • 2 liters lemon-lime soda or ginger ale
  • 8 ounces canned crushed pineapple
  • 4 cups ice cubes
  • pineapple slices for garnish (optional)

Preparation

  1. Mix all ingredients in a large punch bowl. 
  2. Serve in a punch cup, or any clear glass.
  3. Add a piece of sliced pineapple on the rim of the glass, if desired.

Helpful hints

  • Chill ingredients before assembling. Adjust ice as needed.
  • Use diet lemon-lime soda for a diabetes-friendly lower carbohydrate punch. Count as 12 grams carbohydrate, one Carbohydrate Choice.
  • This is a quick punch to make, and it is very refreshing. It’s great for any last-minute preparation for a party or to serve unexpected guests since most of the ingredients have a long shelf life.
  • Pour the soda in the mixture slowly to prevent foam.
