Pineapple Ginger Green Juice

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh pineapple, chopped
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 1 cucumber, chopped
• 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
• 1/2 lemon, juiced

Method

1. 1

   Feed the pineapple, spinach, cucumber, and ginger through a juicer, alternating the leafy spinach with firmer produce to help push it through efficiently.

2. 2

   Stir in the fresh lemon juice immediately after juicing — adding this splash of vitamin C right away is what slows down oxidation, keeping the juice vibrant green for several hours instead of turning dull brown within minutes of exposure to air.

3. 3

   Stir the juice to combine.

4. 4

   Strain through a fine mesh sieve if a smoother texture is preferred.

5. 5

   Serve immediately over ice, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
