Ingredients:

• 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
• 1/2 cucumber, peeled and chopped
• 1/2 ripe mango, peeled and chopped (or substitute with 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks)
• 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and chopped (optional, adjust according to spice preference)
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1/2 – 1 cup water or coconut water (depending on desired consistency)

Instructions:

Prep Time: 5 minutes | Total Time: 5 minutes

1. Gather Your Island Essentials:

• Wash and chop the pineapple, cucumber, and mango. If using fresh ginger, peel and chop it.

2. Blend and Bliss Out:

• Combine all ingredients (pineapple, cucumber, mango, ginger, lime juice, and water/coconut water) in a blender.
• Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds, or until smooth and well combined.
• If using a high-powered blender, you may not need any additional water or coconut water.

3. Customize or Strain (Optional):

• Prefer a thinner juice? Add more water or coconut water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
• For a completely smooth juice, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth. However, keeping the pulp adds extra fiber!

4. Sip and Savor Your Paradise:

• Pour the Island Oasis juice into glasses and add ice cubes if desired.
• Garnish with a lime wedge or a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch.

Tips:

• Feel free to experiment with other tropical fruits like papaya or starfruit for a flavor variation.
• Leftover juice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, the flavor and vitamin content may degrade over time.
