Okay here’s the thing: smoothies are great, salads are great, rice bowls are great, but juice gives me something I can’t get anywhere else. When I get into rhythm of having a glass of green juice or carrot juice or beet juice a few times a week, I notice I feel cleaner and clearer. I feel lighter. My skin glows a little bit. I think I might have more energy but that could be wishful thinking. I know that a lot of folks out there say a big ole ‘boooo’ to juice because it doesn’t have fibre, and some people say it’s unhealthy because it has too much sugar. Well, I say try it out and make up your mind. Personally a glass of juice every few days provides me with this next-level sensation I cannot find elsewhere, no matter how many bowls of banana ice cream I consume. 

This recipe is: Suitable for vegan diets, free from gluten, dairy and egg.

Serves one or two

Ingredients:

  • 4 stalks of celery
  • 2 cups of parsley
  • 3 cups of spinach
  • 1/4 cup of pineapple
  • 1 tablespoon chunk of ginger
  • 1 lemon

Method:

  1. Wash everything.
  2. Juice it all.
  3. Enjoy!

Note: If it’s too tart for you, add an apple or more pineapple, but I really guarantee that over time you will grow to love the flavour without any extra sweetness.
