TIPS
- Use Cold Coconut Water: Keep coconut water chilled before use to enhance the refreshing quality of the drink.
- Adjust Pineapple To Taste: For a sweeter flavour, slightly increase the amount of pineapple or use riper chunks.
- Blend In Stages: If using a standard blender, blend greens and liquid first before adding firmer fruits for a smoother mix.
- Fresh Is Best: Opt for fresh pineapple and cucumber for the best taste, avoiding canned or pre-cut varieties whenever possible.
VARIATIONS
- Add Mint Leaves: A few fresh mint leaves can add a burst of coolness and uplift the flavour profile.
- Incorporate Ginger: A 1 centimetre piece of ginger root adds warmth and boosts anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Boost With Chia Seeds: Add 1 teaspoon of pre-soaked chia seeds after blending for extra omega-3 fatty acids and fibre.
- Include Lemon Juice: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds brightness and helps preserve colour and freshness.
- Swap Coconut Water: If preferred, use chilled plain water or cucumber-infused water as an alternative base.
- Add Spirulina Powder: Boost the nutrient content with a pinch of spirulina or wheatgrass powder for a deeper cleanse.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Make Ahead: This juice can be prepared up to 12 hours in advance if stored in a tightly sealed glass bottle or jar.
- Refrigerate Promptly: Store the juice in the refrigerator immediately after preparing to maintain freshness and nutrient integrity.
- Consume Quickly: For the best taste and maximum nutrient retention, consume within 12 hours of blending.
- Avoid Freezing: Freezing is not recommended as the texture and natural enzymes in the fresh greens may deteriorate.
