This homemade Pineapple Spinach Juice with Ginger is refreshing, naturally sweet and packed with fresh fruits and vegetables. With just four ingredients, it's an easy way to enjoy a fresh green juice at home.
I first tasted green juice when I tried a store-bought kale and pineapple juice. I was hesitant at first because the color wasn't the most appealing, but after trying it, I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was.
I soon found myself craving that green juice. Instead of buying it at the grocery store, I decided to take out my juicer and make my own version using fresh pineapple, spinach, apples and ginger.
Juicing
Juicing is a fun way to try combinations of fresh fruit and vegetables that you might not otherwise think to pair together. This Pineapple Spinach Juice is one of my favorite combinations because the sweetness of the pineapple and apples balances the spinach, while fresh ginger adds a little zing.
While I'm not a nutritionist, I prefer eating fruits and vegetables in their whole form whenever possible, since they provide fiber along with their other nutrients. If you prefer to enjoy your fruits and veggies that way, you can try this Pineapple Spinach Smoothie as a delicious alternative to this green juice.

How to Make Pineapple Spinach Juice
There are only four ingredients in this simple green juice, making it quick and easy to prepare. Fresh pineapple and apples naturally sweeten the juice, so there's no need to add sugar or another sweetener.
Ingredients Overview
- Pineapple: Use fresh, ripe pineapple for the best flavor. Thawed frozen pineapple chunks also work well and are a convenient alternative to fresh pineapple.
- Baby spinach: Baby spinach works well because of its mild flavor, but you can also use regular spinach. Kale is another option, though it has a stronger flavor than spinach. If using kale, baby kale is a good choice because of its milder taste.
- Apples: Any variety will work. Sweeter apples will produce a sweeter juice.
- Fresh ginger: Ginger isn't essential, but I highly recommend adding it. Just a small piece complements the sweet pineapple and apples beautifully.
Steps Overview
- Wash the spinach and apples, then prepare the pineapple by cutting it into chunks that will fit into your juicer. Peel the ginger.
- Feed the ingredients through a juicer.
- Stir the juice and serve immediately. You can add ice cubes if you like your drink cold.
Storage Instructions
Fresh juice is best enjoyed immediately, but if you have leftovers it can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to two days. Give the juice a good stir before serving.
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!

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.
