About Dole whip

Dole Whip is a soft-serve frozen dessert widely associated with Hawaiian cuisine and tropical flavors. Originally introduced in the 1980s by the Dole Food Company, this non-dairy treat is fruit-based, with pineapple being the most iconic and popular flavor. It is celebrated for its creamy texture despite being made with no dairy, using mostly fruit puree, water, and stabilizers like xanthan gum. Nutritionally, Dole Whip often contains minimal fat and offers a modest amount of Vitamin C due to the pineapple base. However, it may include added sugars, so portions should be balanced. As a plant-based option, it has gained popularity within vegan communities for its refreshing taste and cruelty-free ingredients, although moderation is advised given its high sugar content in commercial recipes.

Health Benefits

• Rich in Vitamin C for immune support due to its pineapple base, which provides approximately 20% of the daily value per serving.
• Low in fat, making it a heart-friendly dessert option for individuals seeking lighter indulgences.
• Provides a hydration boost since the dessert is largely composed of water and fruit.
