Highlights of this Recipe
This recipe is:
- Easy
- Healthy
- 4 Ingredients
Ingredients and Health Benefits
Fresh Ginger - Fresh ginger root has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It also helps soothe nausea and digestion. I love the spice the ginger juice brings to these shots. You can substitute for ground ginger if needed.
Pineapple - For this juice recipe, we use fresh pineapple and cut into large chunks and then blend it into pineapple juice. Pineapple is loaded with nutrients and antioxidants. It also has a delicious taste! I wouldn’t substitute for canned pineapple as it’s much sweeter. Instead, substitute for frozen pineapple.
Cinnamon Stick - Cinnamon has anti-viral, antibacterial and antifungal properties while also containing antioxidants with anti-inflammatory effects! Substitute for ground cinnamon.
Honey - Honey is known for being a source of many antioxidants and having anti inflammatory properties, hence why we always tend to have honey while sick! Substitute for maple syrup.
TIP! For added sweetness to this pineapple ginger recipe, you can add coconut water. If you want a little heat, sprinkle some cayenne pepper on top!
How do I Make this in a Blender?
If you don’t have a juicer, no problem! Make sure to peel the ginger first.
Simmer fresh pineapple chunks, ginger, a cinnamon stick and water.
Then combine the ingredients in a blender, except the cinnamon stick.
Blend he ingredients together and then strain into an airtight container.
Because the pulp can get thick, I use a spoon to squeeze out as much juice as possible. You can use a cheese cloth or nut milk cloth to strain if you have those.
How do I make this in a Juicer?
I love using my juicer to make my own juices. If you have your own, it will definitely make it a little bit easier and fewer steps.
First, make sure to chop all fruits and ginger into pieces that will fit in the juicer chute.
Then, using the proper juicer settings - LOW, HIGH, TURBO - juice the pineapple and ginger.
Mix in the honey and water and stir to combine completely, until honey dissolves.
