Pineapple Cleansing Juice

The tropical, summer fruit pineapple is a favorite among many.  Not only is it sweet and juicy, it contains antioxidants and the enzyme bromelain, which helps to digest proteins.  Try this sweet and spicy cleansing drink.

Pineapple Cleansing Juice
1/4 pineapple
1 apple
1/2 beet
2 carrots
1/4 cup parsley
1/4 inch slice of fresh ginger

Wash all produce.  Remove top of pineapple, then remove the skin and core.  Cut remaining produce to fit in your juice extractor. Roll the parsley leaves into a ball to create density.  Juice and enjoy.

Cleansing Juice Recipe

Carrot - Beet - Cucumber Juice
3 carrots
1/2 beet root
1 cucumber
small handful parsley (optional)

Wash vegetables. Cut into sizes that will fit through your juicer and juice.

This juice cleanse recipe is a great over-all tonic.  The carrots provide beta-carotene and vitamins which are anti-oxidants.  The anti-oxidants help against free radical, cancer causing cells.  Beet root is especially good for liver and gall bladder health.  Cucumbers help to reduce swelling and strengthen connective tissue.  Parsley is a diuretic, good for digestion, and can help prevent bad breath.
