Strawberry fields forever. Once you try this recipe that’s what it will feel like!
This recipe came about from having a half of a pineapple left over from my sunshine juice. I needed to use it and thought…what would pair with pineapple. We had strawberries in the fridge and I gave it a go! Let me tell you…HOME-RUN!!!!!
This juice is purely pineapple and strawberry so its full of health benefits but it tastes like a dessert! I love having a glass of this in the morning before my full breakfast. It’s sweet and energizing and welcomes in the essence of joy. I’ll break down some of the phe-nom benefits of pineapple and strawberry and then we will get right to the recipe!
Pineapple Juice Benefits
Vitamin C - Guys I can’t rave about vitamin C enough and pineapples actually contain MORE vitamin C than oranges! That’s right, around 400mg of Vitamin C to be more exact! Vitamin C boosts our immune system, is a powerful antioxidant AND promotes glowing skin (you’ll actually find it in a lot of skincare lines)!
Bromelain - This is one of my favorite things about pineapple! Ever eat a pineapple and get the tingly sensation on your tongue? That’s the Bromelain! I discovered this when I worked for a holistic doctors office through college. Bromelain is an amazing little enzyme that can help aid your digestion, reduce inflammation especially sinus issues AND boost your immunity!
Strawberry Juice Benefits

Berries contain antioxidants like vitamin A and vitamin C, which are associated with improving , including hydration, sebum production, lower levels of wrinkles and discoloration, a reduced risk for skin cancer, and improved elasticity (Source: DrAxe.com).
Manganese - Fun fact strawberries contain about 28% of your daily manganese which is great for nervous system and brain health!
