Fresh Pineapple Ginger Juice Recipe

Making fresh, homemade pineapple ginger juice has never been easier or more delicious! Just 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!

The sweet flavor of pineapple is perfectly balanced with lightly spicy ginger and tart lime. It’s a delicious way to support a healthy immune system. Plus, you only need three easy-to-find ingredients — pineapple, lime, and ginger.

Then you prep and process the fruit, and it’s ready to go. Not only is a great juice to intake when you want an immune system booster, but it’s super refreshing on a hot summer day too. Homemade juices are incredibly hydrating!

Pair this tart and tasty juice with your favorite breakfast recipes like poached eggs and air fry turkey bacon.

Get your morning started off on the right foot and boost that immune system with loads of tasty fruit! It’s great paired with a high protein muffin like blueberry protein muffins.

Why You’ll Love This Juice

  1. The juice has a tropical, refreshing, and unique flavor you’re sure to love! It reminds me of the flavors of a Pineapple Vodka Martini!
  2. Pineapple juice with ginger is loaded with nutritional benefits. Pineapple is packed vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, manganese, B6, copper, folate, and more! Ginger has been used for centuries for its antioxidant properties and anti-inflammatory properties, and lime is another great source of vitamin C.
  3. Easy to adapt. It’s simple to change things up with this recipe. Add extra fruit, some tasty flavor enhancers, or anything else you enjoy.
  4. Naturally sweetened. My favorite part about this juice is that it has no added sugar. You just never know what you’re really getting with juice from the grocery store. But when you make your own pineapple ginger juice, you know exactly what’s in it.

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.
  • ginger: Fresh ginger root is incredibly good for you health and has such a strong a powerful flavor. So tasty in this juice!
  • 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:

  1. Wash the produce well and then peel and core the pineapple.
  2. Roughly dice the pineapple into 1-inch cubes, then peel the limes. Cut away any soft or mushy spots on the ginger.
  3. 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

  1. 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.
  1. 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!
