About This Recipe
Pineapple Juice is made by blending fresh pineapple and water together to make a refreshing drink. A delicious tropical delight! You can also add ice cubes instead of water if you like it cold.
I have added a little sugar to make the juice, but you can avoid it if you’r cutting on the sugar. After making the juice, strain it and enjoy it. But if you don’t mind the fiber in it, you can avoid straining it too.
You can always add in some salt and black pepper, for that extra taste. Adding mint leaves is also a good option, it adds more refreshing taste to the same.

Storage Suggestions
Fresh Pineapple Juice stays good in the refrigerator for almost 3 to 5 days when stored in an airtight container, but it would lose its freshness and flavor a bit.
That’s why I recommend you to make it fresh.
It can be frozen in any freezer-safe container for up to 4-5 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to pick up the best Pineapple to juice?
The best way to pick up a ripe juicy pineapple is by smelling its base. If it smells sweet, it’s ready to be cut and juice. If there is no smell, then it’s not ripe yet.
Can you drink it every day?
Yes, you can drink it every day but make sure you do not overdo it. Because of the presence of bromelain, it can cause rashes, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Though I would suggest you to chose different fruits for your daily juicing, as each and every fruit has a different set of nutrients and consuming variations of fruits will help you get the daily dose of all those essential vitamins and minerals.
Will it help loose weight?
Pineapple is full of fibers and makes you full very fast and hence control overeating. Readymade juices have this fiber removed and so what is left is mostly fruit sugar. But when you make the juice at home, most of the fiber is retained and you feel full after a glass of this juice. And this prevents you from eating more which aids in weight loss.
If you want to make this juice even healthier, skip the process of straining and drink the juice with more fibers. Pineapple juice mixed with orange juice, apple cider vinegar and honey is a sure shot weight loss remedy. It reduces belly fat and shrinks the stomach.
You can make it unsweetened if you wish to.
Will it help in constipation?
Since homemade pineapple juice is full of fibers, it is a natural laxative. It also has an enzyme that helps in improving bowel function.
Does it help you loose weight?
Yes, the enzymes present in the Pineapple Juice will help you burn that excess fat, which makes it every effective for weight loss.
Variations
Mix it with part orange juice or cranberry juice for a tasty twist.
Add some vodka or coconut rum like Malibu to it for a tropical boozy twist.
Add blue curacao and coconut water for a funky mocktail.
Ginger also works great and gives a nice flavour to this fruity juice.

I don’t recommend making this juice in advance and serving later. It may turn bitter. Also since many a times, pineapple are very tart, I add sugar. But if you get good sweet pineapples, you can totally skip the sugar.
