Difficulty Easy

A tropical, refreshing drink, pineapple and coconut juice blends the richness of coconut with the sweetness of pineapple. It is prepared by mixing coconut milk or water with either fresh or canned pineapple. Because it naturally hydrates, this beverage is ideal for hot weather or when you need a quick energy boost. You can add honey or any other sweetener to change the sweetness. It's a tasty, easy, and healthful beverage that goes well with any meal when served cold.

  • 1/2 cup coconut milk (or coconut water for a lighter version)
