Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 apples, cored and chopped
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the apples thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residue.
- Using a sharp knife, core the apples and chop them into small, uniform chunks to ensure smooth blending.
- Prepare the fresh pineapple by cutting it into bite-sized chunks, removing the tough core and outer skin.
- Place the chopped apples and pineapple chunks into a blender.
- Add one cup of cold water to the blender to help facilitate smooth blending and adjust the consistency.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice into the blender to enhance flavor and prevent fruit browning.
- If desired, add sugar for additional sweetness, adjusting to personal taste preference.
- Secure the blender lid and blend the ingredients on high speed for 45-60 seconds until smooth and well combined.
- Taste the juice and adjust sweetness or consistency by adding more water or sugar if needed.
- Strain the juice through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth if a smoother texture is preferred.
- Pour the juice into glasses filled with ice and serve immediately for maximum freshness.
Tips
- Choose ripe, fresh fruits for maximum flavor intensity. Look for apples that are firm and pineapples with a sweet aroma at the base.
- For a smoother texture, consider using a high-powered blender and blending for a full minute.
- If you prefer a pulp-free juice, strain the blend through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
- Experiment with temperature—serve chilled over ice for a refreshing summer drink or slightly cool for a more mellow experience.
- To enhance nutritional value, consider leaving the apple skin on, as it contains additional fiber and nutrients.
- For a more complex flavor profile, try adding a small piece of fresh ginger or a mint leaf during blending.
- If you're watching sugar intake, skip the added sugar and let the natural fruit sweetness shine through.
