  • Author: Mery

  • Yield: 2 servings (makes about 2 glasses of juice)

Description

This homemade Cranberry Pineapple Juice is a deliciously refreshing and nutrient-packed drink that’s perfect for hydrating, boosting digestion, and supporting a healthy lifestyle. With the vibrant tartness of cranberries blended with the tropical sweetness of pineapple, this juice is naturally invigorating and easy to make—no fancy equipment required! Plus, optional additions like apple cider vinegar and honey allow you to customize it to your taste and health goals. Serve it chilled for a perfect summer sip or a daily wellness boost!


Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh cranberries or unsweetened cranberry juice (for a tart, antioxidant-rich base)

  • 1 cup pineapple chunks or pineapple juice (fresh or canned in natural juice for natural sweetness)

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional) (adds a tangy kick and digestive benefits)

  • Honey or agave, to taste (optional) (natural sweetener to adjust tartness)

  • 1 cup water or coconut water (for hydration and to soften flavors)

  • Ice cubes, as needed (to serve chilled and refreshing)


Instructions

  • Blend the Fruits: Place the cranberries and pineapple chunks in a high-speed blender.

  • Add Liquid and Vinegar: Pour in the water or coconut water and add apple cider vinegar if using.

  • Sweeten to Taste: Add honey or agave if you prefer a sweeter juice to balance the tartness.

  • Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients together until fully smooth and well combined.

  • Optional Straining: For a smoother texture, strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. You may also keep the pulp for added fiber and a thicker consistency.

  • Serve Chilled: Pour the juice over ice cubes in a glass and enjoy fresh.

 

  • Garnish (Optional): Add a slice of pineapple, a skewer of cranberries, or fresh mint sprigs for an elegant touch.

Notes

  • Flavor Balance Tip: If the juice is too tart, add extra pineapple or a splash of orange juice. For more tartness, increase the cranberries or reduce added sweeteners.

  • Hydration Boost: Swap half of the water for coconut water to add natural electrolytes and a hint of sweetness.

  • Fiber Option: Keep the pulp unstrained for a smoothie-like texture, adding extra fiber to promote digestion and satiety.

  • Serving Idea: This juice is perfect for summer brunches, wellness routines, or as a refreshing party drink. Serve in a pitcher with floating fruit slices for a stunning presentation.

 

  • Weight Management Note: While cranberry pineapple juice is not a miracle weight loss drink, it supports hydration, fiber intake, and digestion when part of a balanced lifestyle.
