Vegan Whole30 Pineapple Lime Refresher
Fresh pineapple and bright lime juice are a match made in warm-weather heaven, and this sparkling refresher delivers both in the most satisfying way. Blending and straining whole pineapple chunks pulls out a naturally sweet, golden juice that tastes far more vibrant than anything from a can or carton. A pinch of sea salt might seem like an odd addition to a drink, but it quietly balances the tartness and makes the tropical flavors pop in a way that's hard to put your finger on. The whole thing comes together in minutes — blend, strain, stir, and pour over ice with a splash of chilled sparkling water for that fizzy finish. Plant-based drinkers can sip without a second thought, since every ingredient here is completely free of animal products by nature, no substitutions required. Garnish with a mint sprig and a lime wheel if you want it to look as good as it tastes, which honestly isn't hard when the color alone is this gorgeous.
