Description
Pineapple green juice is perfect for beginner green juicers! It’s sweet and ginger-y. No juicer required, a blender and a kitchen towel do all the work. Refreshing and healthy!
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup pineapple, cut into chunks (more if you want it sweeter)
- 1 cup cucumber, cut into chunks
- 1 to 2 inches ginger, peeled
- 2 to 3 cups kale
- optional: handful of mint leaves
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Blend: Add all of the ingredients into a high powered blender. Note: If not using a high powered blender I find it easier to add about 1 cup of ingredients in at a time, blending it in between each set of ingredients. Blend just until the fruit and veggies have broken down but not fully pureed (see picture in blog post).
- Strain: Place a fine mesh siv over a bowl and line the fine mesh siv with a clean, lint free tea towel. I keep a kitchen towel on had that I don’t mind getting stained for jobs such as this. Pour the juice into the towel. Gather all the sides of the towel and use your hands to squeeze the juice through the towel, this may take a minute, and a little elbow grease. Discard the fiber left behind in the towel.
- Drink: Serve your juice over a little ice, it’s best when cold and drink immediately.
Notes
If you have any juice leftover store it in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 1 day. The vitamins and nutrients in the juice will begin to deteriorate after a few hours. For the most nutrition drink the juice immediately.
I have made a double batch of juice on occasion for the next day. Juice with slightly depleted nutrients is better than no juice at all, right?!
If you have a juicer follow your juicer’s directions and juice as you normally would. You can omit the water
