Salutations Steemit Friends!
After sipping one too many Wild Donkey Buck Cocktails this past weekend, starting my week off with a healthy green juice is just what the doctor ordered!
My mainstay green juice is this Pineapple Kale recipe, and despite it's deep green hue it tastes like a tropical dream. Today, I wanted to shake up that recipe, and experiment with fresh from the garden greens like parsley and spearmint.
The juice of both pineapple and parsley have terrific anti-inflammatory effects. Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain and parsley an oil called eugenol; both are known to have excellent anti-swelling properties.
Fresh parsley juice helps to flush out the kidneys, which is helpful after a weekend of tippling. And both mint and parsley are known to aid digestion (good things).
Pineapple Parsley Green Juice Recipe
Ingredients
2 cups fresh pineapple, chopped
2 cups kale
1/2 cup parsley
3 celery stalks
half a cucumber
sprig of mint
1/2 lemon
Yield: ~14 fl oz
Directions
Wash all produce well. Peel and core the pineapple. Also, peel the lemon. Add all ingredients through juicer. Strain the juice to remove any pulp. Sip and enjoy!

If you're a garlic lover like me, then you'll appreciate the high chlorophyll content of parsley as it acts as a bad breath neutralizer. Also, mint adds freshness so you'll breathe easy after a delicious meal of pasta or a homemade pizza.
Thanks for commenting, upvoting and resteeming this post! I hope my post will inspire you to make and create or treat yourself to something new. Until next time...
