Beet Pineapple Juice

Featured in Refreshing Drink Recipes for Every Occasion.

Start by rinsing and chopping beets, pineapple, and cucumber into pieces. Either juice them directly with a bit of ginger or blend everything and strain after. This gives you a tangy-sweet, bold pink drink. Chill it with some ice or a quick trip to the fridge. You’ll get about four servings, and it stays fresh for a couple of days if sealed tight and kept cold.

Benefits of This Refreshing Drink

You'll appreciate how fast you can whip this up - just 10 minutes from start to finish. It's way better than anything bottled at the store since there's nothing hidden inside, and all the nutrients and minerals are at their peak. Don't stress if you're missing a juicer, because your blender will do the trick. Enjoy it with your morning meal or whenever you need a boost throughout your day.

Ingredients List

  • Beet: One mid-sized, chopped up
  • Pineapple: Diced into smaller bits for easier processing
  • Ginger: Just a tiny chunk for some zing
  • Cucumber: The English variety works wonderfully

Simple Instructions

With a Juicer:
Chop your beet, pineapple, ginger, and cucumber into pieces. Next, feed everything into your juicer and mix it up afterward.
Blender Method:
Throw all your chopped fruits and veggies into the blender with some cool water. Once it's blended smooth, push it through a cloth to remove pulp. Be careful - beet juice stains badly, so use something you don't mind turning pink.
Serve Chilled:
Dump your freshly made juice over ice cubes for something truly cooling. It's best when you drink it immediately while everything's fresh.
Storing Leftovers:
Got extra? Pop it in a container with a good seal and stick it in your fridge. Try finishing it within a couple days when the flavor's still amazing.

Why You'll Love It

This juice boosts your energy and perks you up. You can create it in just 10 minutes without any special tools. It's packed with nutrients that support your wellbeing, and its gorgeous pink color will brighten your day just looking at it.

Selecting Quality Components

Go for a pineapple that gives off a sweet aroma when you sniff it. Your beet should be solid and weighty for its size. Any cucumber type works fine, but English varieties don't need peeling and contain fewer seeds. For ginger, select a piece that appears fresh and feels tough. Better ingredients always mean tastier juice.

Blender Works Too

Just reach for your blender and you're all set. Cut everything into smaller chunks so it blends properly. Then drain it through fabric to extract the liquid. Things might get messy with beet stains, so wear something old and use containers you don't mind turning pink. The end result tastes just as good as juicer-made versions.

Quick Tips

Don't waste time peeling the cucumber or beet - a good wash is enough. The pineapple does need its skin removed though. Serve your drink over ice for extra refreshment. Want to make more? Just double the amounts and keep the extra in your fridge for tomorrow. Just remember that fresh juice tastes best if you drink it within 48 hours.

Creative Variations

After you've mastered the basic version, start playing around. Toss in some fresh mint for coolness, or swap cucumber for apple if you want more sweetness. Keep beets handy in your kitchen and you can create juice whenever the mood strikes. This formula is just your starting point - adjust it to match your own taste buds.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I toss in canned fruit?

Fresh is always tastier, but canned fruit works when you’re in a rush. Make sure to drain the syrupy juice, and remember, it might not be as light. Gives you great flavor though!

→ How do I stop the stains?

Use an old board for cutting, and throw on some gloves if you’re worried about your hands. Any spills? Wipe them immediately. You can also line the area with paper towels for less mess.

→ How long will this last?

Keep it chilled and sealed to make it last up to two days. The color might change slightly, but give it a good shake before serving. Super fresh is always best though!

→ Is this OK for little ones?

Yeah, absolutely! Just skip the ginger or use only a little. Make the juice sweeter, strain it really well, and kids love the fun pink look.

→ How can I switch up the flavor?

You can toss in apples, add more berries, or use carrots for a twist. Mint is also a fun touch! Just let beet stay the main star.

→ What if it’s too thick?

Throw in more water, or strain it again if needed. Less pulp will make it thinner, and adding ice works like a charm too. Keep an eye on how much fruit you’re using.

→ How do I take this on the go?

Pack it in a tightly sealed jar and keep it cold. Shake it up when you’re ready to drink. Bringing some ice and extra juice wouldn’t hurt either!

→ Any way to make this faster?

If you’re short on time, buy pre-cut beets or already prepared fruit. Do a quick blend and strain, and you’re good to go. It still tastes amazing fresh!

→ Is doubling the recipe doable?

Yup! Just be mindful of space in your juicer or blender and work in batches if needed. Make sure to keep everything cool, and finish it within two days.

→ How can I sweeten this more?

Try using ultra-ripe fruit, add a drizzle of honey, use more pineapple, or cut back on the beet amount. Always keep tasting as you go to balance it out!

→ Foam everywhere?

Let the juice sit for a minute and skim the foam off the top. Straining slower or blending at a lower speed can also help. Some people love the foam though, so it’s all about what you like!

→ Can I use a blender instead?

Totally! Just chop everything smaller, add extra water, and strain really well. It might take a little longer, but it works just as well.

Conclusion

Love this? You’d enjoy a carrot-beet-ginger mix just as much. It’s fresh and bold!

Yield: 3 Servings

Dietary: Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free

Ingredients

01 A medium-sized English cucumber, washed.
02 1 medium beet, roughly diced.
03 A large fresh pineapple, peeled and cubed (4-5 cups).
04 A small piece (1½-inch or 3 cm) of fresh ginger, peeled.

Instructions

Step 01

Pop the pineapple chunks, beet pieces, cucumber, and ginger into a juicer. Give the resulting juice a good stir and enjoy immediately to savor the freshest taste.

Step 02

If a juicer isn’t available, toss everything into a blender along with a splash of cold water to help it blend smoothly. Once blended, pour it through cheesecloth or a nut-milk bag to separate the pulp (be warned, beet juice might stain!).

Step 03

Want it extra refreshing? Pour the juice over ice cubes before serving.

Step 04

Keep leftovers in the fridge, sealed in an airtight container. It’s best to drink within 1-2 days for top-notch flavor and freshness.

Notes

  1. Feel free to add a bit of water if the texture is too dense for you.
  2. Since the beet gives this juice its bold reddish-pink color, be careful while handling it to avoid staining clothes or surfaces.
  3. Homemade juice is most nutritious right after it's made but can be kept in the fridge for two days.
