Blend chopped pineapple, cucumber and parsley with water to make the drink. Add more water for a thinner consistency, and serve it fresh. You do not have to strain it; leaving it unstrained keeps some of the pulp in the glass.
No, the drink does not cause weight loss on its own. It may be a lower-calorie swap for a sugary drink, but it has no special fat-burning effect. Keeping it unstrained retains some pulp and makes it more filling than a strained juice.
No, there is no good evidence that this drink detoxes the body. Your liver and kidneys handle the removal of waste products. The drink can be a refreshing way to have fluids, but it does not cleanse the body or replace those organs.
Blending is usually the better choice for this drink because it mixes the ingredients with water and keeps some pulp. A juicer separates out most of the pulp, giving you a thinner, clearer drink with a different texture.
Keep the drink covered in the refrigerator and aim to use it the same day. Its color, flavor and texture can change as it sits. Do not leave it at room temperature for a long time, and discard it if it smells or looks spoiled.
No, peeling the cucumber is optional. If you leave the skin on, wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water first; the skin can add a greener color and a more pronounced cucumber flavor. Peel it for a milder taste or smoother texture.
Yes, a blender works well, and you do not need a juicer. Blend the ingredients with water, then drink the mixture as it is or strain it for a smoother, thinner texture. A little extra water can help a less powerful blender.
Yes, you can have the drink on an empty stomach; there is no required time to drink it. Pineapple’s acidity may trigger heartburn or stomach discomfort for some people. If that happens, have it with food or choose a different drink.
No, it is not a balanced meal replacement. The drink does not provide the range of nutrients and staying power you would get from a meal containing protein and other foods. Have it alongside food rather than relying on it to keep you full.
Yes, lemon or a little ginger can be added to the drink. Lemon makes it tangier, while ginger gives it a sharper, warming flavor. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste; neither ingredient is needed for the basic recipe.

The pineapple, cucumber and parsley drink is a fresh-tasting blend of fruit, vegetable and herbs, usually made at home rather than tied to one particular regional tradition. The ingredients can be blended with water; strain the mixture if you prefer a smoother, lighter texture.
Sweet-tart pineapple softens cucumber’s clean, mild flavour, while parsley adds a distinctly green, herbal note. Serve it chilled for breakfast, as a snack, or alongside a meal on a warm day. It is mostly a light, water-rich drink, with little protein or fat, so it is not especially filling on its own. Use less parsley for a gentler flavour, and skip added sugar if you want to keep its refreshing balance.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
