Fresh Squeezed Pineapple Orange Juice

This homeade, fresh squeezed juice has the perfect level of sweetness and is best enjoyed on a hot summer day!

I've always loved juices, however today it can be difficult to find a juice that doesn't contain ingredients like added sugar, preservatives, and even color! This summer I decided to try out a few different fresh squeezed, homemade juices. With a bit of experimenting, I came up with one of my favorites: Pineapple Orange juice. This sweet summery juice is simple and packed with Vitamin C to keep you energized during the long, hot summer days!

Ingredients:

-2 cups fresh squeezed orange juice (you can roll the oranges on your counter-top to make them easier to juice manually if you don't have a juicer)

Directions:

-Squeeze your oranges and make sure there are no seeds in your juice. (You can strain out the pulp if you prefer, however pulp holds much nutrition)

-Pour your juice into a blender and add the pineapple

-Mix until combined

-Pour your juice into individual glasses or into a pitcher

*Serve chilled

Enjoy!
