This pineapple coconut water recipe is a refreshing, naturally hydrating drink made with just a few simple ingredients. It combines the sweet-tart flavor of fresh pineapple with the electrolyte-rich benefits of coconut water to create a light, energizing beverage perfect for summer days, post-workout recovery, or sipping at brunch.
Add ingredients to a blender
Place 1 cup pineapple chunks , 1½ cups coconut water , ½ tablespoon lime juice , and 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (if using) into a blender.
Blend until smooth
Blend on high for 30–45 seconds , or until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
Strain (optional)
For a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove pulp.
Add sparkling water
Stir in ½ cup sparkling water just before serving to maintain fizz.
Serve over ice
Pour into a glass filled with ice cubes . Garnish with mint leaves , a pineapple wedge , or toasted coconut flakes , if desired.
Chill ingredients first for a naturally cold drink — no need to refrigerate afterward.
Sparkling water is best added right before serving to keep the fizz.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Shake or stir before drinking.
For meal prep: Prepare infused version without sparkling water and add fizz fresh when serving.
