Pineapple Cucumber Mint Juice

Happy Friday, friends! We are nearing the end of the month (can you believe it?!), which means it’s also time for another Recipe Redux post.

May’s Recipe Redux theme is all about DIY: Kitchen Essentials edition. From spice blends and condiments to homemade broth and nut butter, we are sharing the kitchen staples we choose to make at home.

Homemade frozen waffles are totally the way to go rather than buying them, and this recipe from 100 Days of Real Food has been my favorite over the years. I’ve never felt the need to change it in any way, which says a lot because I’m always making changes to recipes! Salad dressing is another item that I always make at home because it’s just sooooo easy. Plus, the taste is far superior and generally contains less sugar and sodium than any similar store-bought dressings.

But today, I’m sharing something that until this year, I would have previously purchased. JUICE! Earlier this week, I shared my thoughts on juicing and whether or not a juicer is worth the investment, and now I have a simple homemade juice recipe to share!

Champion Juicer and ingredients to make juice (ginger, mint, limes, cucumber, and pineapple)

As I demonstrated in my previous post using the Juicer_Payback_Calculator_v1.0, making fresh juice at home has saved me money, and now it’s something I prefer making at home because I can create new concoctions all the time! This Pineapple Cucumber Mint Juice is loaded with vitamin C and is good for inflammation, digestion, and immune system health.

  1. I love pineapple, so I was drawn to your cucumber, pineapple, mint juice.

    I need to change my diet drastically this year and am thinking of adding some healthy fruit / veggie drinks to my meal replacement plan. I don’t drink commercial juice because of the high sugar count, but I do drink lots of filtered water during the day.

    My goal is to look as healthy as you!

  2. This looks so tasty. I’ve yet to try a juice that contains vegetables as well as fruit but I love looking at them and I think once I do take the plunge I’ll be hooked.
