Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs
What each ingredient does
- Pineapple chunks
- Provide the main fruit flavor and body, and their juice adds sweetness and acidity.
- Peaches (in the method)
- Add fruity sweetness and a soft, pulpy texture to the blended drink.
- Plain yogurt
- Adds creaminess and tang, and thickens the frappe as it is blended.
- Skim milk
- Adds liquid and a smooth, creamy body without much fat.
The step that matters
Blend until smooth and thickened. Processing only briefly leaves fruit pieces and a thin, watery texture. Blending long enough breaks down the fruit fibers and mixes the yogurt evenly, which gives the frappe its smooth, thick body.
