Pregnancy Friendly Pineapple Mint Spritz
Bright, tropical, and genuinely refreshing, this sparkling drink is exactly what you want when you need something festive that isn't just plain water. Fresh pineapple brings natural sweetness and a sunny flavor, while mint and lime add a zippy, cooling contrast that makes every sip feel like a little celebration. It's sweetened with maple syrup rather than anything artificial, so you know exactly what's going into your glass — no mystery ingredients, no caffeine, and nothing that raises any red flags during pregnancy. The blending and straining method pulls out a silky, pulp-free juice that feels genuinely elevated, not like a rushed mocktail afterthought. Sparkling water gives it that satisfying fizz without any added sugars or preservatives hiding in a store-bought soda. Garnish with a lime slice and a sprig of mint and it looks beautiful enough to serve at a baby shower or just enjoy on a slow afternoon at home.
