Pineapple contains a high amount of beta-carotene which can help prevent respiratory issues like asthma.
With 95% water content, cucumbers can relieve dehydration and keep you hydrated for longer.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Pineapple: The main flavor component in this drink.
Cucumber: It is high in water content and full of minerals like magnesium and potassium.
Ginger: This root has anti-inflammatory properties known to boost brain function.
Turmeric: This superfood can aid in fighting viral infections like the flu. This spice also contributes to the vibrant yellow color of this drink.
Cold Water: Keep the liquid simple and hydrating.

How to Make Pineapple and Cucumber Juice

PREPARE THE FRUIT. Remove the skin from the pineapple. Then, slice the flesh into large chunks. Slice the cucumber into large pieces. (No need to remove the skin from the ginger or turmeric.)

BLEND. Add the ingredients to a high-powered blender. Then blend until smooth.

STRAIN (OPTIONAL). Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a bowl or pitcher. Strain the pulp from the mixture to get a clear juice. (Feel free to leave the pulp if you like. It is full of fiber and nutrients.)

SERVE. Serve in a glass with ice cubes and garnish with fresh mint. Enjoy!

Tips To Nail the Recipe

Feel free to adjust the ratios of each ingredient to suit your taste buds.
Keep the skin on ginger and turmeric because it saves time, reduces food waste, and provides extra nutrients.
The straining step is totally optional. Strain the pineapple cucumber juice after blending if you prefer a super smooth juice. But if you don’t mind a little pulp in your beverage, you get even more fiber.

Variations

Antioxidant Boost: Flaxseeds and chia seeds would add omega-3 fatty acids and you won’t even notice they’re in there!
Creamy: Thicken this juice or even turn it into a smoothie by adding Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt (in order to keep it vegan).
More Fruits: Add more fruits to the mix to play up different flavors and add more nutrients. Try watermelon, apple, or lemon.
More Veggies: Try adding celery or carrots.

Storage

Although pineapple and cucumber juice is best enjoyed within 24 hours, it will last in the fridge for up to 3 days.
