Tips to make the best watermelon pineapple juice

To make the best watermelon pineapple juice, please follow the below tips:

Make sure to use good quality, fresh watermelon and pineapple.

If the fruits that you use are not fresh, naturally the fruit juice won’t taste fresh so make sure to always use fresh juice!

It’s best to use seedless watermelon to prepare watermelon juice if you find it difficult to remove the seeds from the melon prior to juicing.

This is because, if there are seeds while you make the juice in the blender, the seeds can get crushed and alter the taste of the juice.

To avoid this happening, make sure to remove the seeds as much as possible (however if there is little small seeds, no need to worry much about it as you can strain the juice if desired).

Also, make sure to use ripe & sweet pineapple for the best flavor!

For the best tasting juice, make sure to serve the juice as soon as it’s prepared or make sure to serve it chilled!

Also use chilled fruits and chilled water to make refreshing & cooling juice!

How to make watermelon pineapple juice?

We use the following ingredients to make delicious, refreshing and colling watermelon pineapple juice.

Ingredients used

watermelon sliced 2 cups chilled (make sure seeds are removed if not using seedless watermelon)

pineapple sliced 1 cup chilled (taken from ripe, sweet pineapple)

water 2 cups chilled

sugar 3 tablespoons (adjust to taste)

Step by step instructions

Add the watermelon slices, pineapple slices and sugar to a blender.

Also add the water and blend until smooth, and transfer the prepared fresh juice to serving glass tumblers or cups.

Add ice cubes if desired and serve immediately for best results!

If you are saving this juice for serving later on the day, make sure to keep it chilled in the refrigerator until ready to serve and also you can serve this along with lots of ice cubes, especially if you are taking this outdoors.

If you double or triple the quantity and make large batches of juice, it’s a good idea to freeze it if you are not serving on the same day.

You can transfer the juice to ice cube trays for more longer storage.

Variations:

It’s not just juice that you can make with watermelons and pineapples.

As I mentioned earlier, watermelons and pineapples make a very delicious combination.

Pineapples are also the ideal fruit to give you the tropical flavor in your drinks and salads.

Just like watermelon pineapple juice, one another popular and delicious drink that you can make using watermelons and pineapples is watermelon smoothie!

To make a delicious watermelon pineapple smoothie, you can replace the chilled fruits with frozen fruits.

Also use ice cubes instead of chilled water (you can also reduce the amount of water and replace with ice cubes for a frosty texture ideal for smoothies).

If you are making smoothies, it is a good idea to skip the sugar and use natural sweeteners like honey to make it more healthy, since smoothies are usually made in a more healthier way.

Instead of water, you can use pineapple juice or watermelon juice in the smoothie along with ice cubes & frozen fruits to make the perfect watermelon and pineapple smoothie!
