Homemade Pineapple Juice Recipe

Pineapple juice is made by juicing fresh pineapples. Pineapples are a delicious fruit. Loaded with multivitamins.

They are naturally sweet especially when very ripe. The honey syrup used in this recipe takes the sweetness up a notch and gives the juice a nice flavor. You can skip it as pineapples are already sweet as it is.

How to choose the right pineapple for homemade juice.

To be honest I really don’t know if this method works 100% but I usually go by the sweet smell of the pineapples.

When it’s a bit soft and yellowish with that sweet smell, then it’s perfect for juicing but if it’s more green, firm and not so sweet smelling I don’t buy those.

But if I find that my smell trick didn’t work, my honey syrup comes to the rescue 😀

How to make Pineapple Juice at home

The amount of ingredients needed and full instructions are in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is just a run down.

    Wash your hands thoroughly.

    then wash the whole pineapple to ensure there are no dirt particles.
    Wash you bowl, utensils and blender cup.
    Prepare the honey syrup and set aside to cool.

  • Wipe down the counter surface. Now you can peel the skin of the pineapple and cut it up into cubes.
  • Transfer cut up pineapple to the blender. Add the honey syrup and blend till smooth.
  • Chill for up to 1 hr before serving.

How to store homemade Pineapple juice

Homemade juices do not contain preservatives, therefore best consumed within 24 hrs or a max of 48 hrs ( 2 days).

It tastes better fresh and there is less risk of Bacterial contamination. You can freeze homemade juices for up to a month.

Is Pineapple Juice good for you?

Definitely, pineapple juice is good for you but in moderation because of its high sugar content.

Like any other foods high in sugar (natural sugar or refined) pineapples should be taken in moderation. A cup ( 8 oz ) of pineapple juice every other day or every other two days healthier than a cup or two daily.

Can I drink pineapple juice everyday?

No dear friend it’s not a healthy habit to indulge in pineapple juice daily 😊 for the reason stated above.

To put things in perspective, a cup of unsweetened pineapple juice has 128 calories, 25mg of vit C, 31.4g of Sugar, 33mg of calcium and 30mg of magnesium.

Imagine having 31.4g of sugar getting into your body daily only from juice, what happens when you eat other meals that contain sugar in traces. It all adds up.

The sugar in Pineapple juice is classified as natural sugar but the human body reacts to natural sugar abs refined sugar in that same way. To the body sugar is sugar.

Health Benefits of Pineapple juice.

Homemade Pineapple juice has loads of benefits.

1. Anti inflammatory properties

Pineapples are the only major dietary source of Bromelain an enzyme with anti inflammatory properties. It seems to work by triggering the body to produce substances that fight pain and reduce swelling.

Bromelain is found in all parts of the pineapple but is more concentrated in the core.

2. Aids digestion

Pineapple juice is speculated to aid digestion. Reduces bloating and constipation. Bromelain is also credited here since it helps to break down proteins faster.

3. Boosts the immune system and improves Heart Health.

Because of its high vitamin C content, Pineapple juice can improve heart health and reduce the incidence of cataracts.

    […] If your watermelon isn’t sweet enough on its own you can add some honey syrup to sweeten things up. My honey syrup is made with 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of honey boiled till the Honey dissolves. I love using honey syrup in my juices. […]
