Pineapple pizza gives our favorite combination of bread, cheese and sauce a uniquely tropical taste. It is often prepared with a number of other toppings, including barbecue ham and red onion. Pop a frozen pizza in the oven and enjoy a steamy, tropical pie.
2. Pineapple Smoothie

Mango, coconut, passionfruit, and most importantly, pineapple all work well in smoothies. Grab a blender, ice cubes, sliced pineapple and pineapple juice, and recreate your tropical experience. Get creative! You can’t go wrong by adding other fruity flavors (or a shot of rum?) to the mix.
