This Ginger Pineapple Drink is not only delicious, but it’s also packed with health benefits. Ginger is well known for its anti-inflammatory and digestive properties, while pineapple is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, making this drink a powerhouse of nutrients! Whether you’re looking for a natural energy boost, better digestion, or just something refreshing, this drink will satisfy all your needs.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of fresh pineapple (peeled and chopped)
- 1-2 inches of fresh ginger root (peeled and chopped)
- 1-2 tablespoons of honey or agave (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 ½ cups of cold water or coconut water (for extra hydration)
- 1 tablespoon of lime juice (optional, for added tang)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled drink)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Peel and chop the fresh pineapple into chunks.
- Peel and chop the ginger into small pieces. (Be cautious with ginger, as it can be quite spicy. Adjust the amount based on your preference.)
- If using, squeeze fresh lime juice to add a bit of citrusy flavor.
- Blend the Ingredients:
- Add the chopped pineapple, ginger, and lime juice (if using) to a blender.
- Pour in the cold water or coconut water, and blend until smooth. If you’d like a thinner consistency, you can add more water.
- Sweeten (Optional):
- Taste the juice. If it needs extra sweetness, add a tablespoon or two of honey or agave syrup and blend again. Pineapple is already naturally sweet, so you may not need much additional sweetness.
- Strain (Optional):
- For a smoother drink, strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any pulp. If you like a thicker, fiber-filled drink, feel free to skip this step.
- Serve:
- Pour the juice into a glass over ice cubes if you want it chilled.
- Garnish with a small slice of pineapple or a sprig of mint for a nice touch.
