First things first, let's talk about why you should drink this juice. Well, for starters, it's delicious. But more importantly, it's chock full of health benefits that will make you feel like a superhero.

Juicing is a great way to pack a ton of nutrients into one drink. When you juice fruits and vegetables, you can consume a concentrated amount of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that are often lost during cooking or processing.

Plus, juicing makes it easy to incorporate a variety of produce into your diet, even if you're not a fan of eating certain fruits or veggies on your own.

Green juices can also aid digestion and gut health, as the body absorbs nutrients quickly and easily. And let's not forget about the hydration factor – juicing can help keep you hydrated throughout the day.

So juicing is a great option to consider if you're looking to boost your immune system, improve digestion, or add more fruits and veggies to your diet.

🍍 Variations

Try out some pineapple juice variations with the following:

• Are you looking into losing weight? This juice was designed just for that.
• Fighting inflammation? This juice with anti-inflammatory ingredients like lemon and celery is your answer.
• Joint pain - this juice has a number of ingredients to help you reduce inflammation and joint pain naturally.

🍽 Equipment

Juicer - choose a cold-pressed juicer over a centrifugal juicer. They are a little more expensive but are definitely the best option in the long run. They yield more juice, and since there is no heat involved as there is in centrifugal users, your juice preserves more nutrients and oxidizes slower (lasts more).

OR

1. Blender- if you don't have a juicer, you will need a high-speed blender (affiliate link) and,
2. Mesh strainer- when making juice, use a regular colander or nut milk bags. We recommend using the same ones we use to make almond milk.
3. Bowl - It is always better to use a large bowl (affiliate link) to work the blender method without making a mess in the kitchen early in the morning.

🥡 Storage

Store this carrot juice in a BPA-free (affiliate link), tightly sealed container to maximize its shelf life. Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

You can freeze your immune-boosting juice in an airtight container, but it doesn't stand up well to freezing for more than 3 months. It will never reach the same nutrient density as fresh juice, but you will still enjoy its health benefits.

✅ Pineapple ginger juice benefits

Let's talk about green juice benefits.

Let's start with pineapple. This sweet and tangy fruit is loaded with vitamin C, which is essential for a healthy immune system. It also contains bromelain, a digestive enzyme that helps break down protein and reduce inflammation in the body. Plus, it's a natural anti-inflammatory, which can help ease joint pain and swelling.

Next up, ginger. This spicy little root is a powerhouse when it comes to health benefits. It's a natural anti-inflammatory, which means it can help reduce inflammation throughout the body, including in the joints. It's also great for digestion, as it can help relieve nausea, bloating, and constipation. And if that's not enough, ginger has also been shown to have anti-cancer properties.

Now let's talk about spinach. Popeye was onto something when he chowed down on this leafy green. Spinach is packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamin K, which is essential for bone health. It's also a great source of iron, which is important for energy levels and brain function.

And last but not least, we have cucumber. This cool and refreshing veggie is a great source of hydration, as it's mostly water. It's also a natural diuretic, which means it can help flush toxins out of the body. Plus, it's rich in antioxidants, which can help prevent cell damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Celery is a low-calorie vegetable that is rich in nutrients and can be juiced to provide various health benefits. Some of the potential benefits of celery juice include blood pressure regulation, weight loss, and digestive health.

Now that we've covered the health benefits let's discuss the recipe. This drink is easy to make and oh-so-tasty.
