Cucumber-Pineapple Juice Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 large cucumber, peeled and chopped
• 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (about 1/2 of a medium pineapple)
• 1/2 cup coconut water (optional, for added hydration and flavor)
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1-2 tablespoons agave nectar or honey (optional, for added sweetness)
• Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Peel and chop the cucumber into small pieces. Cut the pineapple into chunks, removing the core.
2. Blend: In a blender, combine the cucumber, pineapple chunks, lime juice, and coconut water (if using). Blend until smooth.
3. Strain (optional): If you prefer a smoother juice, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher to remove the pulp. Use a spoon to press the mixture and extract as much juice as possible.
4. Sweeten (optional): Taste the juice. If you prefer it sweeter, add agave nectar or honey to taste, and stir well.
5. Serve: Pour the juice into glasses over ice cubes if desired. Garnish with a slice of cucumber or pineapple on the rim of the glass for an extra touch.
6. Enjoy: Sip and enjoy your refreshing Cucumber-Pineapple Juice!

Tips:

• For a chilled beverage, refrigerate the ingredients before blending.
• You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less agave nectar/honey based on your preference.
• This juice is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
