 What You’ll Need

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe pineapple
  
  

• 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar or honey (optional)
  
  

• ½ cup of cold water (adjust for consistency)
  
  

• A few ice cubes (optional)
  
  

• A pinch of salt (to balance the sweetness)
  
  

Equipment:

• Blender or juicer
  
  

• Fine mesh strainer (if using blender)
  
  

• Knife & cutting board
  
  

 Step 1: Choose the Perfect Pineapple

The key to delicious juice starts with a ripe, juicy pineapple.
Here’s how to pick one:

• The skin should have a golden-yellow hue.
  
  

• It should smell sweet and tropical near the base.
  
  

• The leaves on top should pull out easily.
  
  

 Step 2: Prep Your Pineapple

1. Cut off the top (crown) and bottom of the pineapple.
   
   

2. Stand it upright and slice off the skin carefully.
   
   

3. Remove the small “eyes” using a knife.
   
   

4. Cut the pineapple into small chunks, discarding the hard core (or keep it for extra fiber).
   
   

 Step 3: Blend or Juice

Using a Blender:

1. Add the pineapple chunks to your blender.
   
   

2. Pour in cold water.
   
   

3. Blend until smooth.
   
   

If you like a smoother juice, strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.

Using a Juicer:
Simply feed the pineapple chunks through your juicer and let the magic happen!

 Step 4: Sweeten and Serve

Taste your juice — if you prefer it sweeter, add sugar or honey and a pinch of salt to balance the flavors.
Stir well and pour over ice cubes for an instant tropical refreshment!
