On this Just a Merry Mocktail Monday, let’s chat about juice! Is it worth the squeeze? What if I told you that you don’t need a juicer to get fresh and amazing juice!
Getting FRESH pineapple juice is as easy as:
Cutting it up
Blending it (with a little water)
Then straining the juice and bottling it!
The flavor is Next Level!!
The obvious downside is shelf life. Typically, this juice should be enjoyed in the first 24 hours. However, I recently learned adding citric acid will extend the shelf life (one source said 6 months!) This is a wonderful kitchen hack to create your ingredients and enjoy them a little longer. Also, from Healthline.com “Citric acid enhances the bioavailability of minerals, allowing your body to absorb them better.“ Looks like a Win/Win situation to me!
@thesobercurator, and I would LOVE to see your fresh juice journey! Tag Us and Show It Off! ????
Until Next Week!
To Your Health!
