Ingredients
- 1.5 cups pineapple
- 5 celery stalks
- 1/2 cucumber
- 1 cup curly parsley
- 1 inch piece ginger root
- 1 lemon (peeled)
Instructions
-
Start by prepping all ingredients; dice pineapple into cubes and measure out 1.5 cups. Rinse and dab dry celery, cucumber and parsley. Peel and chop lemon.
-
Run all ingredients through a juicer. Start with your ginger and parsley then the rest. These two ingredients have very little water content so the rest of the ingredients will flush them through the juicer as they get juiced.
-
Allow juice to chill in the fridge for a few minutes if you wish. ( I usually leave it in there while I clean my juicer).
-
Serve and drink within 8 hours. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Tips and Substitutions:
- Use all organic ingredients if possible- Organic ingredients are the best option when juicing as they are consumed raw.
- Put all ingredients in the juicer in that exact order indicated in recipe- Pineapples, celery, cucumbers and lemons contain a lot more water than parsley and ginger do. The liquid from these fruits and vegetables will help flush through any chunks of the other ingredients that are left behind in the juicer.
- Drink juice within 8 hours- Juice tends to start to ferment after that. If you have a cold press juicer, you can keep the juice in the fridge longer.
- Substitute for parsley- You can use cilantro.
