After you’ve had fresh squeezed juice, it’s hard to go back. My life this summer was full of cheap produce found in the open-air markets of southern Ecuador. It was wonderful, when you can buy 20 bananas for $1 and a pineapple for $1.50. It’s hard to justify any sort of pre-processed food. Hence, I discovered the world of smoothie making. This is my favorite — it’s quick, with no sugar, and 100% juice.
Ingredients
- Pineapple
- Banana
- Milk (optional)
Supplies
- Blender
- Mesh strainer
Directions
- Cut pineapple into chunks.
- Blend it, add water if needed. Use mesh strainer to get any unwanted fibers out.
- Blend pineapple juice with banana. The quantity is variable depending on how sweet/thick you want.
- You can add milk for non-alcoholic piña colada. Make sure you have already added the banana. It cuts the acidity/sourness of the pineapple, which can sometimes cause milk to curdle.
