Beet Pineapple Juice: Recipe and How to Make It

Beet pineapple juice is a drink made with raw beet, pineapple and water that takes 10 minutes to prepare and yields about 2 cups (475 ml), or 2 servings.

What is beet pineapple juice?

Beet pineapple juice combines earthy beet with sweet, tart pineapple. You can make it with a juicer for a smoother drink or blend the ingredients and keep the pulp for more fiber.

The pineapple softens the flavor of the beet without added sugar. For more about the beet component, see beet juice.

How do you make beet pineapple juice?

Prep time: 10 minutes
Yield: About 2 cups (475 ml), or 2 servings
Steeping: None required

Ingredients

• 150 g raw beet, peeled and chopped, about 1 cup
• 165 g pineapple, peeled, cored and chopped, about 1 cup
• 240 ml water, about 1 cup

Wash the beet and the outside of the pineapple under running water before peeling and cutting them. Chop the ingredients into pieces small enough for your blender or juicer; the exact yield can vary with the produce and whether you strain the drink.

Blender method

1. Add the chopped beet, pineapple and water to a blender.
2. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
3. Pour into two glasses, keeping the pulp for a thicker drink. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve first if you prefer a smoother juice.

Juicer method

1. Feed the chopped beet and pineapple through a juicer according to its instructions.
2. Stir the water into the collected juice.
3. Divide between two glasses and serve.

The blended version will be thicker than the juiced version. If you strain it, press the pulp gently with a spoon; some liquid will remain in the pulp, so the finished amount may be smaller.

What does beet pineapple juice do?

Beet pineapple juice provides fluid and nutrients from its ingredients. Pineapple supplies vitamin C, while beet contributes folate and potassium. Keeping the pulp also provides fiber, which supports normal digestion.

The following estimates use the raw ingredients above, divided into two equal servings, with all the pulp retained. Actual values vary with the produce and preparation; they do not apply to the strained or juicer version.

There is no evidence that beet pineapple juice itself removes toxins or treats a medical condition. The liver and kidneys do most of the body's detoxification, while the lungs and gut help eliminate waste; drinks primarily help by providing fluid.

When is the best time to drink beet pineapple juice?

There is no established best time to drink beet pineapple juice. Have it when it suits you, such as alongside breakfast or another meal. There is no need to drink it on an empty stomach.

If the acidity bothers your stomach, try a smaller serving with food. If you monitor carbohydrates, remember that the drink contains naturally occurring sugars even though the recipe has no added sugar.

How should you store beet pineapple juice?

Drink beet pineapple juice promptly, or refrigerate it in a clean, covered container at 4 °C (40 °F) or below and drink it within 24 hours. Stir or shake it before serving, as the liquid and pulp can separate.

Discard juice that has been left at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Also discard it if it smells sour, becomes slimy or otherwise seems spoiled; appearance and smell alone cannot guarantee that juice is safe.

Who should be careful with beet pineapple juice?

Avoid beet pineapple juice if you are allergic to either ingredient. Seek urgent medical help for signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as trouble breathing or swelling of the throat.

If you have kidney disease or a history of calcium-oxalate kidney stones, ask your clinician whether beets fit your diet. If you have diabetes, consider the carbohydrate content as part of your usual meal planning. Pineapple's acidity may also aggravate reflux symptoms in some people.

Homemade juice is unpasteurized. Pregnant people, young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems should avoid unpasteurized juice and choose pasteurized juice instead. Beet can temporarily make urine or stool look red; contact a clinician if you are unsure of the cause or the color persists.
