🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 medium-sized beetroot (fresh or peeled)
- 1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned if fresh is unavailable)
- 1 small piece of ginger (optional, for a little zing!)
- 1-2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on your sweetness preference)
- 1 cup cold water (or coconut water for an extra tropical twist)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled version)
👩🍳 How to Make Beetroot Pineapple Juice
1. Prepare the Beetroot
Start by washing your beetroot thoroughly to remove any dirt. Peel the beetroot (use gloves if you don’t want your hands to turn red!) and chop it into small chunks. If you have a juicer, simply juice the beetroot. If you’re using a blender, no worries — just chop it into smaller pieces to make it easier to blend.
2. Add the Pineapple
Next, add the fresh pineapple chunks into your blender. You can use frozen pineapple as well for a colder, thicker texture. The sweetness of the pineapple perfectly balances the earthiness of the beetroot.
3. Add Ginger (Optional)
If you like a little kick in your juice, add a small piece of fresh ginger. Ginger not only adds flavor but also has anti-inflammatory properties and can aid digestion. A little goes a long way, so just a small piece will do!
4. Blend It All Together
Pour in your cold water or coconut water, and blend everything together until smooth. If you want a thinner consistency, feel free to add more water. If you prefer it colder, toss in some ice cubes and blend again.
5. Sweeten It (Optional)
Taste your juice and decide if you’d like to sweeten it up. If so, add honey or maple syrup, stirring well until fully combined.
6. Serve and Enjoy!
Pour your fresh Beetroot Pineapple Juice into glasses, and serve immediately for the best flavor and nutritional benefits. Garnish with a slice of pineapple or a mint leaf for an extra touch of freshness.
🥤 Health Benefits of Beetroot Pineapple Juice
This juice isn’t just refreshing — it’s packed with health benefits! Here are some of the top reasons you should make this a regular part of your routine:
- Improves Heart Health: Beets are high in nitrates, which can help lower blood pressure and improve blood flow, leading to better heart health.
- Boosts Immunity: Pineapple’s vitamin C and antioxidants help strengthen your immune system and combat free radicals in the body.
- Detoxifies the Body: Beets are natural detoxifiers, aiding in liver health and the elimination of toxins from your system.
- Aids Digestion: Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that supports digestion, while the fiber in both the beets and pineapple helps regulate bowel movements.

🧃 Pro Tips & Variations
- Make it a smoothie: If you want to make it a heartier drink, blend in some banana, Greek yogurt, or oats to create a smoothie bowl or thicker beverage.
- Add mint: For an extra refreshing twist, throw in a few fresh mint leaves before blending.
- Use sparkling water: For a fun, fizzy version, swap the still water with sparkling water for a little effervescence.
- Strain it: If you prefer a smoother juice without pulp, you can strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
