Ingredients
You only need three fresh ingredients to make this easy recipe. Here’s what to grab next time you run to the grocery store:
- pineapple: For the best tasting, fresh ripe pineapple choose one that has yellow or gold skin, green leaves, is tender to touch, and has a sweet scent when you smell the base.

- lime juice: Make fresh squeezed lime juice for the best flavor. Bottled lime juice works ok in a pinch, but fresh is the best

Substitutions and Variations
You can use frozen pineapple chunks 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 a little water. Between one-half and one cup of water should work. You can use something like watermelon juice too.
For extra flavor and nutrition, add 1 medium diced cucumber, orange segments, 1 inch of fresh turmeric, and/or 10-15 fresh mint leaves!
How to Make Pineapple Ginger Juice
Follow these step-by-step instructions to make this delicious juice in no time. It's really so simple to make:
- Wash the produce well and then peel and core the pineapple.
- Roughly dice the pineapple into 1-inch cubes, then peel the limes. Cut away any soft or mushy spots on the ginger.
- 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.
You can juice ginger skin, so there's no need to peel it. In fact, fruit and vegetable skins are good for you! Feel free to remove the ginger skin if you prefer.
Make sure you cut the pieces small enough so they can fit through the juicer chute.
Blender Method
- 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.
Tips for Success
Check out these simple tips to ensure the best success with this pineapple ginger juice recipe:
- Soak the ginger root in cold water for about 10 minutes before juicing for optimal juice extraction!
- This recipe yields about 24 ounces (3 cups) of juice, but the exact amount will depend on the efficiency of your juicer and the water content of the produce you use.
- You can freeze leftover juice for later by pouring it into ice cube trays or silicone trays in smaller portions. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe, airtight bag or container for up to 3 months. Then defrost the cubes as you want them, or toss one or two into smoothies or hot tea for extra flavor.
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.
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!
