Is pineapple good for meal planning?

Fresh pineapple is low-calorie and high in vitamin C. Canned pineapple in syrup is much higher — choose 'in juice' or 'no added sugar' to keep the calories closer to fresh.

It is sweet enough to feel like a dessert, which makes it a useful swap when you want something indulgent in a deficit.

How to use pineapple in a meal plan

  • Chunks with cottage cheese
  • Added to overnight oats or yoghurt
  • Diced into a chicken stir-fry
  • Grilled as a sweet side with pork
