- 4 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 1/2 cup fresh strawberries
Liquids & Sweetener
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar
- Juice of 1 lime (about 2–3 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Prepare Fruits: Rinse the fresh strawberries thoroughly and hull them by removing the green tops. Peel and cut the pineapple into chunks if not already prepared.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the fresh pineapple chunks, strawberries, water, agave nectar, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Blend on high speed until smooth and well combined.
