EatingWell's Editorial Guidelines Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Add a hint of sweetness to your next meal with these recipes that use pineapple juice. Pineapple juice is a versatile ingredient that can be found in savory recipes like Grilled Pork Chops with Chile & Pineapple and Sweet & Sour Chicken. Or use the liquid in drink and dessert recipes like Mini Pineapple Pound Cakes and Pineapple Smoothie. 01 of 23 Piña Colada in a Pineapple View Recipe This classic piña colada is served in a fun and festive pineapple bowl! For the pineapple juice called for in this recipe, you can use store-bought unsweetened pineapple juice or, better yet, extract juice by mashing the pineapple flesh that you remove from the inside of the pineapple. For a thicker drink, you can also add some of the pineapple flesh to the blender when you're mixing up the drink. 02 of 23 Grilled Pork Chops with Chile & Pineapple View Recipe Never grilled pineapple? Get ready to be wowed. It caramelizes beautifully for a deeper flavor. Plus it's a totally tasty match with a grilled pork chop, cilantro and a little heat from serranos. 03 of 23 Pineapple Smoothie View Recipe A touch of pineapple-orange juice concentrate adds even more pineapple flavor to this refreshing smoothie. 04 of 23 Mini Pineapple Pound Cakes View Recipe In this moist and delicious healthy pound cake recipe, we use coconut oil in place of butter because an enzyme in fresh pineapple can react with dairy when heated, resulting in an off flavor. Alternatively, you can use melted butter and canned pineapple. To make a large cake, bake in a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan for 35 to 40 minutes. 05 of 23 Sweet & Sour Chicken View Recipe This 20-minute meal delivers a faster, lighter and more flavorful takeout alternative. It's chock-full of fresh, crispy veggies and juicy chicken pieces, and it reheats well for meal-prep lunches. If you like heat, sub Sriracha for some of the ketchup. 06 of 23 Virgin Banana Piña Colada Pops View Recipe The tropical flavors of a piña colada make for one delicious ice pop. Be sure to reach for ripe bananas to get the perfect sweetness (without any added sugar!) for this clean-eating-friendly frozen treat. 07 of 23 Huli Huli Chicken with Pineapple-Ginger Sauce View Recipe "Huli" is a Hawaiian word that means to turn over. Traditional versions of this dish are grilled, constantly turning the chicken back and forth as a rotisserie would. This easy recipe is made in the oven to save you time and elbow grease. Recipe adapted from Chef Greg Harrison, Pacific'O Restaurant. 08 of 23 Honey, Asian Tuna & Pineapple Pasta View Recipe Because this Asian-inspired tuna and pasta dinner-for-four is ready in under 30 minutes, it's the perfect choice for any weeknight. 09 of 23 Skinny Pineapple Margaritas View Recipe Pineapple juice adds plenty of sweetness to this no-sugar-added margarita recipe. 10 of 23 Pineapple-Cherry Cake Cobbler View Recipe This easy cobbler is filled with cherries, pears, and pineapples and its flavor is heightened with cinnamon and nutmeg. 11 of 23 Pineapple Turkey Kebabs View Recipe Take a mini vacation around the globe! The Caribbean flavor of rum, the Asian flavor of lemongrass, and the pineapple and brown sugar twist so loved in the South Seas all blend together to make these delicious turkey kebab appetizers. Make it a meal by serving with hot cooked rice and some steamed vegetables. 12 of 23 Prosciutto-Wrapped Pineapple Bites View Recipe The sweet-and-salty combination in this easy, one-bite prosciutto-wrapped pineapple appetizer recipe is addictive. Double the recipe and serve it for a party.

Serve it in festive tropical-drink glasses. 22 of 23 Sesame-Crusted Tofu with Spicy Pineapple Noodles View Recipe The tropical flavors of the hot chile-spiked pineapple noodles that accompany the crispy tofu in this dish will take the chill out of any cold day. 23 of 23 Smoky-Hot Raspberry Shrimp View Recipe The secret ingredient in this recipe is the chipotle chile peppers, which give a smoky, almost sweet, heat to the dish without overpowering the other ingredients.
