Citric Acid Free Whole30 Pineapple Lime Refresher

Tropical, fizzy, and genuinely refreshing, this sparkling drink blends fresh pineapple and real lime juice into something that tastes far more special than the effort involved. Avoiding citric acid as an additive can make store-bought sodas, juice blends, and flavored sparkling waters a minefield, since the ingredient shows up in nearly every commercial option. Here, every drop of tartness comes from whole fruit — blended pineapple strained into pure juice and freshly squeezed lime — so you know exactly what's in your glass. The fine sea salt is a small but brilliant touch that rounds out the sweetness and makes the flavors pop in a way that feels almost restaurant-worthy. Chilled sparkling water adds the bubbles without any hidden additives, and the whole thing comes together in just a few minutes with a blender and a strainer. Garnish with mint and a lime wheel if you want to make it look as good as it tastes, or skip the extras and just drink it straight — either way, it disappears fast.
