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. Cut the produce into pieces small enough that they can fit through the juicer chute.
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.
Stir the juice, then serve right away in glasses, 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.

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.The juice will separate as it sits, so give it a quick stir before serving.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!
