Ingredients
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (or 100% pineapple juice)
2 cups coconut water
1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
Ice cubes
Pineapple slices (for garnish)
Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
-
Blend & Sweeten: In a blender, combine fresh pineapple, coconut water, and sweetener if using. Blend until smooth.
-
Strain (Optional): For a smoother texture, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp. You can skip this for extra fiber.
-
Serve Chilled: Fill glasses with ice, pour the drink over, and garnish with pineapple slices and mint leaves.
-
Optional Sparkling Twist: Substitute half the coconut water with sparkling water just before serving for a fizzy variation.
Notes
Add Zest: Include 1–2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice or ginger juice for added flavor and digestion support.
Make a Slushie: Use frozen pineapple chunks instead of fresh for a slushy-style drink.
Detox Infusion: Skip blending—just add pineapple chunks to coconut water and refrigerate for a light infused detox drink.
Sweetener Tip: Taste before adding sweetener—ripe pineapple may provide all the sweetness you need.
Texture Tip: Straining removes pulp for a juice-like consistency; skipping it boosts fiber content.
