Use ripe, fresh pineapple and a small amount of fresh jalapeño. The pineapple is rich in vitamins and minerals, while jalapeño adds a spicy kick along with health benefits like improved metabolism.
Juice the pineapple either by using a juicer or a blender (adding a little water if needed). For heat control, start with a small piece of jalapeño and gradually increase based on your taste preferences.
Consider adding a splash of lime juice for acidity, or a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Mixing in fresh mint leaves can also add a refreshing note to the drink.
For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh pineapple. This will give your juice a natural sweetness and vibrant taste.
Start with a small amount of jalapeño and gradually increase it to control the spice level. Remember, you can always add more, but you can't remove it!
If you find the heat overwhelming, balance it out with a natural sweetener like honey or agave to mellow the spiciness.
For a tropical twist, blend the juice with coconut water. It will add a refreshing, hydrating element to your drink.
A splash of fresh lime juice can add a tangy contrast to the sweetness of the pineapple and the heat from the jalapeño.
Garnish your drink with fresh mint or cilantro for an extra layer of freshness and a beautiful visual touch.
