Take a sip of this homemade cactus juice for a healthy and refreshing drink to enjoy this summer! This green juice is super simple to make and all you need are 4 ingredients to make it.
Chop the nopal into small pieces, making sure there aren’t any spines/thorns left on the skin.
Chop the pineapple slice into cubes
Place all ingredients in a blender; process until smooth, and… voilà!
Notes
If fresh pineapple is not available you can easily use frozen pineapple chunks.
However, fresh nopales are required to make this juice, Nopales sold in a jar are already cooked, and won't work on this recipe.
You can find Nopales being sold at Latin Stores or some grocery stores in regions with a large Mexican Population. Nowadays, you can even find Nopales in Asia. But for sure you can find them in Central and South America.
If you have leftover Cactus Juice, store it in your fridge to enjoy the next day. Some people in Mexico make enough to store in a pitcher inside the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
