Pineapple Ginger Zinger Juice

This juice is stuffed with awesome nutritious ingredients, but I wan't to focus on the parsley! Parsely is one of those herbs that I feel is seriously under-rated. It's not just for garnish people. Oh no. Sometimes you have to let the parsley take center stage, and this juice does just that!

In the essential oils of parsley lies an organic compound called myristicin. If you forget that word forever that's fine. Just know that myristicin is responsible for inhibiting tumor formation, helping to fight free radicals in the body (those things that cause the C word), and neutralizing carcinogens! Parsley is also anti-inflammatory and full of vitamins B9 (folate), C and K (so check with your Dr. if you're on coumadin before making a meal out of parsley)! 

This juice is sweet and refreshing! Enjoy!

Ingredients:
-1 large handful of parsley
-4 stalks of celery
-4 leaves of kale
-1 inch knob of fresh ginger
-1/4 of a fresh pineapple
-1 lemon

Directions:
-Chuck it all in the juicer (not the blender) and drink immediately! Enjoy!

This is a JUICE! Not a Smoothie! If you want to blend it all up and drink it as a smoothie, be my guest. However I make no promises that it will taste good!

*Please use organic ingredients when possible.
