Ingredients
Scale
Fruits and Vegetables:
- 3 oranges (juiced)
- 1/2 pineapple (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 lime (juiced)
Liquids:
- 8 ounces (236 milliliters) coconut water (unsweetened)
Seasonings:
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Carefully clean and prepare the fresh pineapple by removing the tough outer skin, extracting the core, and chopping into uniform bite-sized cubes.
- Extract the vibrant citrus juices by rolling the oranges and lime on a countertop to release their internal liquids, then squeeze thoroughly using a citrus press or manual juicer.
- Transfer the prepared pineapple chunks into a high-powered blender, creating a solid foundation for the hydrating beverage.
- Pour the freshly squeezed orange and lime juices directly into the blender, ensuring all citrusy essence is captured.
- Add the pure, natural coconut water to introduce a smooth, tropical undertone to the electrolyte drink.
- Sprinkle a pinch of high-quality sea salt to enhance the mineral profile and provide essential electrolyte balance.
- Activate the blender and pulse the ingredients until a homogeneous, frothy liquid emerges with a vibrant tropical appearance.
- Optional: Position a fine-mesh strainer over a clean pitcher and gently strain the mixture to eliminate any remaining fruit pulp for an ultra-smooth consistency.
- Fill tall glasses with crystal-clear ice cubes, then carefully pour the chilled beverage.
- Elevate the presentation by garnishing with a delicate citrus wheel or a small pineapple wedge, creating a visually appealing tropical refreshment.
Notes
- Customize Salt Levels by gradually adding sea salt, tasting as you go to create your perfect electrolyte balance without over-salting.
- Choose Fresh Fruits for maximum nutrient density, selecting ripe pineapples and juicy oranges that are firm but yield slightly when gently squeezed.
- Boost Nutritional Profile by adding a teaspoon of raw honey or a pinch of turmeric for extra anti-inflammatory benefits and natural sweetness.
- Prep Ahead by storing the blend in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, giving a quick shake before serving to re-mix separated ingredients.
