Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Pineapple
Peel and core the pineapple. Remove the skin and eyes of the pineapple and cut it into chunks.
For the best flavor, use a ripe pineapple that’s fragrant and soft to the touch.
Step 2: Blend the Pineapple
Place the pineapple chunks into your blender. Add 1-2 cups of cold water to help blend the pineapple and create a smooth juice. The amount of water depends on how thick or thin you like your juice.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high speed until the pineapple is completely smooth and there are no chunks left. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4: Strain the Juice (Optional)
If you prefer pulp-free juice, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a pitcher. Use a spoon to press down on the pulp and extract as much juice as possible.
If you enjoy a thicker, fiber-rich juice, you can skip the straining step.
Step 5: Sweeten and Serve
Taste the juice and add honey or sugar if you prefer a sweeter drink. Pineapple is naturally sweet, so you may not need any added sweetener.
You can also add a splash of lemon juice for extra tanginess and brightness.
Step 6: Serve Chilled
Pour the fresh pineapple juice into glasses over ice cubes for a cool and refreshing drink. Serve immediately for the best flavor.
