Preparation time: 10 minutes
Juicing time: 5 minutes
Total: 15 minutes
Servings: 2

Necessary ingredients:
- 130 g fresh pineapple (about 1 large slice)
- 170 g fennel (about 1 large bulb)
- Optional: ice for serving

Brief History of the Ingredients:
Pineapple, native to South America, was brought to Europe by explorers in the 16th century and quickly became a symbol of hospitality. This tropical fruit is not only delicious but also packed with vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, which helps strengthen the immune system. Fennel, on the other hand, is an aromatic plant that has been used since ancient times in both gastronomy and traditional medicine. With a slightly aniseed flavor, fennel adds a distinct note to our juice and aids digestion.

Nutritional Benefits:
Pineapple and fennel juice is a true treasure of nutrients. Pineapple is rich in bromelain, an enzyme that aids digestion and reduces inflammation. Fennel contains antioxidants and is an excellent source of fiber, helping to maintain healthy digestion. Together, these ingredients provide you with a boost of energy and hydration, perfect for hot days or after an intense workout.

Preparation Technique:
1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by peeling the pineapple. Cut a thick slice from the core of the pineapple and remove the skin. Make sure to remove the "eyes" of the fruit – those small brown spots. Then, cut the pineapple into cubes to facilitate juicing.

2. Fennel: Wash the fennel well under running water, then cut off the top (fronds) and the base. You can also use the green leaves, as they add a pleasant flavor. Cut the bulb into smaller slices to make it easier to process.

3. Juicing: Use the multifunctional Vita Juicer to extract the juice. Add the pineapple cubes and fennel slices through the feeding chute. Turn on the juicer and let it work its magic! You'll see the juice collect quickly, and the fresh aroma will fill the room.

4. Serving: Once you have the juice, you can serve it immediately. If you want to chill it, add a few ice cubes to the glasses. This juice is delicious and pure, but you can also add a slice of lemon or lime for a tangy taste.

Possible Variations:
If you want to experiment, you can add other ingredients to the juice, such as:
- Green apple: for a sweeter taste and a note of freshness.
- Ginger: for an extra spicy flavor and anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Cucumber: for an additional refreshing effect.

Serving Suggestions:
This juice is perfect to enjoy in the morning, alongside a healthy breakfast like Greek yogurt with granola or a fruit smoothie. It also pairs wonderfully with light salads or fish dishes.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Can I use canned pineapple instead of fresh pineapple?
While canned pineapple can be used, your juice will not have the same freshness and intense flavor as that made from fresh pineapple. Additionally, check the label to avoid additives or added sugar.

2. How can I store the juice to drink later?
Fresh juice is best enjoyed right away, but if you want to store it, make sure to keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Ideally, consume it within 24 hours to benefit from all the vitamins.

3. Is this juice suitable for diets?
Yes, it is an excellent option for a healthy diet, being low in calories (about 60 calories per serving) and rich in nutrients.
