Ingredients

  • 1 3 lbs pineapple (about 4 cups)
  • 4 cups cold water
  • 1-2 tablespoon sweetener of choice (see notes)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Begin by cutting the pineapple into chunks.
  2. Pour 4 cups of filtered, cold water into your blender.
  3. Add the pineapple to the blender.
  4. Blend for 2 minutes until the pineapple is broken down and you have a smooth liquid.
  5. Taste your pineapple water and add the sweetener of choice if needed. Begin with a tablespoon or two, mix and taste again to ensure it’s not too sweet.
  6. If using a high-powered blender, like a Vitamix, there should be no reason to strain the juice. However, other blenders might leave a fibrous pulp behind so use a fine mesh sieve to strain it.
  7. Pour the drink into a pitcher or bottle and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour until cold or serve immediately over ice.
  8. Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days in a tightly sealed jar or bottle. 

Notes

  • If the pineapple is ripe enough, it’ll add all the sweetness you need. However, if additional sweetener is desired, you can use your preferred sweetener.
