Ingredients

  • 1 cup (100 g) fresh ginger root chopped
  • 1 cup (180 g) pineapple cubed
  • ½ cup (120 g) orange juice
  • ¼ cup (60 g) lime juice or lemon juice
  • ½ cup (120 g) coconut water (see notes)
  • 1-2 pinches of cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • You can watch the short video for visual instructions.
    Wash and scrub the ginger root under running water before you chop it into smaller chunks.
  • Squeeze 2 oranges to get ½ cup of orange juice. Also, squeeze about 3 limes (or 2 lemons) for ¼ cup of juice.
  • Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until the mixture is fairly smooth.
  • Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve (or nut milk bag) into a bowl or measuring cup.
  • Transfer the juice to several smaller (preferably sealable) glasses and store them in the refrigerator for up to a week.
    I consume one shot in the morning and recommend starting slowly.

Notes

  • Coconut water: You can use more orange juice (or any other fruit juice, or even water) instead.
  • The recipe makes about 2 cups of juice. You can also freeze the juice in an ice cube tray for up to three months.
