Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your fresh ingredients. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residues.
-
Pineapple Preparation: Do not remove the core as it's full of nutrients. Chop the pineapple into smaller chunks so they fit comfortably into your juicer.
-
Kiwifruit Preparation: Peel the kiwifruits, cutting them into halves or quarters. The smaller pieces will make the juicing process smoother.

-
Juice Extraction: Collect the juice in a suitable glass or jug, making sure to stir it well to incorporate all the flavors.

Season with Pepper: Immediately after juicing, add freshly ground black pepper to the mix. This will not only spice up the drink but also aid in the absorption of turmeric's benefits.
