Start by peeling and coring the fresh pineapple. Chop it into bite-sized chunks.
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and remove the hulls. Cut them in halves or quarters.
Juice the lime and set aside. Reserve a few slices for garnish if desired.
In a large pitcher, combine the pineapple chunks, strawberry pieces, and lime juice.
Pour in the orange juice and unsweetened coconut water. Stir to mix well.
Gently bruise the mint leaves to release their aroma and add them to the pitcher.
Add ice cubes to the pitcher, then slowly stir in the sparkling water to add effervescence.
Taste the punch and add more lime juice or sweeten with agave nectar if desired, keeping in mind the heart-healthy focus of low added sugars.
Garnish the punch with lime slices and a few whole mint leaves before serving.
Serve immediately in chilled glassware, or let chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
