Pineapple-Spinach Whole Juice Recipe

adapted from Incredible Smoothies

INGREDIENTS

1 cup pineapple, cubed

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

8 ounces of filtered water

1/2 teaspoon of fresh, grated ginger (optional)


DIRECTIONS

Start by adding the liquid to your blender, followed by the soft fruit. Add the greens to your blender last. Blend on high for 30 seconds or until you don’t have any more chunks.

Pour into a glass and enjoy!



To bulk up on more minerals, just add more spinach.

Pineapple contains a proteolytic enzyme called bromelain, which helps in the digestion of protein and is highly recommended as a natural anti-inflammatory. Spinach is rich in protein as well as potent antioxidants, vitamin A and vitamin C.

Pregnant women should not consume parsley. Parsley contains an essential oil called apiole. Apiole is a kidney stimulant. Because this essential oil can stimulate uterine contractions, pregnant women should avoid eating large quantities of it
