This homemade sugar-free Pineapple Spinach Juice with Ginger is delicious, refreshing and best of all full of nutrients and vitamins!
I first tasted green juice when I tried a store-bought kale and pineapple juice. I was hesitant at first since the colour wasn't the most appealing, but I tasted it anyway and found the drink very enjoyable.
Soon after drinking that green juice, I found myself craving it. Instead of picking it up from the grocery store, I decided to take my juicer out and make my own tasty green pineapple juice.
Juicing
I think that juicing is a fun way to try combinations of fresh fruit and veggies that you wouldn't otherwise eat together. It's also a great way to get more nutrients and vitamins into your diet, especially if you can convince your picky kids to give it a try. I still can't believe I got mine to try this spinach juice and admit she liked it!
However, though I'm not a nutritionist, I do think that eating your veggies and fruit, with all the fiber in them, is the most beneficial way to consume them. If you prefer to consume fruits and veggies that way, you can try this Pineapple Spinach Smoothie as an alternative to this green juice.

How to Make this Spinach Juice
This juice is made with spinach, but you can use kale if you prefer it, though it will have a stronger taste than spinach. If you want to use kale, I would recommend baby kale since it has a milder taste.
I also use fresh pineapple and apples in this juice. Pineapple is a great fruit to add to your juice, it sweetens the juice naturally so you don't have to add any sugar or other sweetener to the juice. Just make sure to choose a ripe but still firm pineapple.
Though it isn't essential, adding a bit of fresh ginger to the juice makes a real difference. It adds a slight zing to the drink and really compliments the spinach and pineapple in this juice.
There are only four ingredients in this sugar-free juice recipe and it couldn't be any simpler to make. It's best to use the freshest ingredients possible when making juice.
Ingredients Overview
- Pineapple chunks.
- Baby spinach. You can also use regular spinach.
- Apples. Use what you have on hand. The sweeter the apple the sweeter the juice will be.
- Fresh ginger
Steps Overview
Press the washed spinach, apple, pineapple chunks and ginger through a juice extractor. Stir and serve immediately. You can add ice cubes if you like your drink cold.
Calories:
Assuming you divide the amount of juice into 3 portions, there will be approximately 160 calories in each serving.
Storage Instructions
If you have any leftover spinach juice it can be refrigerated for up to two days or frozen for longer storage.
Enjoy!

Even though I hate spinach, in this juice it was hardly noticeable and juice was simply delicious. Thanks for this excellent recipe. I found your through the Canadian bloggers post and am glad to have discovered your super helpful blog. The juicer that I bought last year finally found some use. The pineapple spinach combo is something I wouldn't have thought of. LOL.

Hiya Fida,
I'm with you, I have a thing about green drinks so my smoothies mainly consist of fruits. But I do love spinach and combining it with spinach is brilliant so I'm in. Lovely photos!

Thanks Robyn! I know, not the most appealing drink colour, but it tastes so yummy.

This looks so healthy. I don't have a juicer but wouldn't mind a thicker drink from the blender. A perfect tonic for this time of year!

I will try this. I don't have a juicer but will see if my local juice place can make it for me. I bet it is delicious.
Sweet and Savoury Pursuits says
That's great Suzanne, do let me know how you like it. I'm thinking of making it in the blender and see what it would be like as a smoothie, probably add some yogourt as well. Have a great weekend!
apuginthekitchen says
Thats a great idea. I bet it would make a great smoothie, I'll try that. I have everything but the pineapple will get it tomorrow. Yes will let you know. The yogurt sounds great.
