Why We Love It
Making fresh, homemade Pineapple Ginger Juice has never been easier or more delicious!
Like my Apple Beet Juice and Carrot Apple Ginger Juice, this is a quick and good-for-you drink you’ll come back to time and time again! So why should you try it? Well…
🍍 It’s Delicious! The sweet pineapple is perfectly balanced with lightly spicy ginger and tart lime. The juice has a tropical, refreshing, and unique flavor you’re sure to love!
🍍 It’s Easy to Make! You just need three easy-to-find ingredients (pineapple, lime, and ginger), and either a juicer OR a blender. Then you prep and process the fruit, and you’re done!
🍍 It’s Healthy! Pineapple is packed vitamins and minerals like vitamin C (important for immunity!), Manganese, B6, Copper, Folate, and more! Ginger has been used for centuries for its antioxidant properties and is used to help with nausea and indigestion. Lime is another great source of vitamin C, as well as several helpful antioxidants.
Ingredients
Ingredients Notes:
- For the best tasting, freshest pineapple, choose a pineapple that has yellow or gold skin, green fronds (leaves), is tender to touch, and has a sweet scent when you smell the base.
- You can use frozen pineapple or frozen ginger, but be sure to allow them to fully defrost before processing through a juicer.
- If you’re making juice with a blender, you may need to add liquid, about 1/2-1 cup of water.
- Optional Ingredients: Add 1 medium diced cucumber, 1-2 peeled oranges, 1 inch of fresh turmeric, and/or 10-15 fresh mint leaves for extra flavor and nutrition!
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the ingredients.
Wash the produce. Peel and core the pineapple, then roughly dice into 1-inch cubes. Peel the limes. Cut away any soft or mushy spots on the ginger.
➡️ You can juice ginger skin, so there’s no need to peel it. In fact, fruit and vegetable skins are good for you!
➡️ Make sure you cut the pieces small enough so they can fit through the juicer chute.
Step 2: Make the juice using either a juicer or a blender.
- Juicer: Turn the juicer on. A few pieces at a time, add the pineapple, ginger, and lime through the chute of the juicer. Process according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Blender: Add the pineapple, ginger, and lime to the blender. Add up to one cup of water to the blender to help it process. Turn the blender on and slowly turn it to full speed. Blend for 3-5 minutes, or until it is smooth and creamy. Strain and press the mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth to separate the pulp from the juice.
Step 3: Stir & serve.
Stir the juice, then serve right away or store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Don’t leave the juice at room temperature for longer than 2 hours, per USDA.
➡️ The juice will separate as it sits, so give it a quick stir before serving.
➡️ Homemade juice is best served cold. Chill the fruit before juicing or serve the juice over ice!
