The next time you buy a pineapple, peel and cube any leftovers and store them in the freezer. You can puree the frozen chunks just as is to make an instant, additive-free sorbet, or use them in this not-too-sweet smoothie. To partially thaw the pineapple chunks, microwave on high for 20 to 30 seconds.
