Ingredients

1 bottle · ~11-13 oz

Method · In press order

Press it in this order. Here's why.

  1. Fresh pineapple growing upright on its plant in soft natural light.3 cup

    Sweet-tart base · peeled, eyes removed, and cut into chunks

    Pineapple gives the volume and sweetness around the pepper.

    Press
    Wash produce before cutting. Remove pineapple skin and eyes, cut to suit your juicer, and press most of the pineapple first.

    Sweet aroma at the base — the bottom is the sweetest end.
  2. Fresh jalapeno peppers growing naturally on a healthy pepper plant.1/8 small

    Pepper accent · stem, seeds, and inner ribs removed; a small slice

    A small pepper slice adds warmth; actual heat varies.

    Press
    Remove the pepper stem, seeds, and inner ribs. Feed only one small slice (about one-eighth of a small pepper) with pineapple. Wash hands after handling and avoid touching your eyes.
    Buy
    Firm, glossy peppers with smooth dark-green skin.
  3. Fresh green limes growing on a citrus tree branch with glossy leaves and soft sunlight.1/2 small

    Citrus finish · peeled

    Lime sharpens the tropical flavor.

    Press
    Press the peeled lime and remaining pineapple. Stir well and taste; pepper heat varies even when the amount is the same.
    Buy
    Glossy, thin skin with slight give.

Fix and swap

Didn't come out right? Fix it.

  • Too hot

    Blend the finished juice with more freshly pressed pineapple or cucumber; the batch volume will increase.

  • Not enough heat

    For the next batch, increase the pepper in very small increments; seed removal does not guarantee a mild pepper.

  • Jalapeño?

    A small ginger slice. Changes the pepper warmth to a ginger finish; use a small amount first.

  • Lime?

    Lemon. Gives a cleaner, slightly different citrus edge.

Yield, prep and calorie ranges are rough planning estimates. Calories come from the recipe's produce types, not a lab test, and everything varies with produce size, ripeness and your juicer.

Storage

Use clean equipment and a clean covered bottle. Refrigerate promptly and enjoy the same day for best flavor. This is fresh raw juice, not a shelf-stable drink; discard it if storage history or freshness is questionable. Yield is a produce-size estimate and varies with the fruit and juicer. This website provides general recipe and nutrition education only and is not medical advice.

Serving: Juices can fit well near a balanced meal or snack, especially when the recipe is fruit-forward.
