Servings: 4
Calories: 155kcal
Ingredients
- 1 whole medium pineapple about 5 cups of pineapple chunks
- ½ head medium purple cabbage about 1 pound or 450 grams
- 1-to 3- inch piece of fresh ginger root optional for a spicy kick
- 1 lemon or lime optional for a citrus boost
Instructions
- Start by peeling and chopping the pineapple into manageable chunks. Cut the purple cabbage into smaller pieces, making it easier for the juicer or blender.
- Using a Juicer: Feed the pineapple chunks and purple cabbage through the juicer, alternating between the two for a well-mixed juice.
- Using a Blender: Combine the pineapple and cabbage in the blender with a splash of water. Blend until smooth. Then, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a pitcher to separate the juice from the pulp.
- For a Spicy Kick (Optional): Add a 1-to 3-inch piece of fresh ginger root.
- Add Citrus (Optional): For a refreshing twist, add a lime or lemon to the juicer to enhance the flavors.
- Serve: Pour the juice into glasses and serve immediately for the freshest taste. You can also chill it in the refrigerator for a short time before serving or add ice.
- Fresh juice keeps well in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
