Green Juice: Pineapple, cucumber, chard, wild greens.
I'm on day 3 of a juice fast, and I must admit that this wild green juice was inspired by St Patrick's Day. I love the color, and it tastes divine!
Lately I've been using a lot of wild edibles in my juices, but for the past couple of days I've forgotten, and I've missed the incredible feeling that I get when I have wild greens added to my juice. So I wanted this juice to have some of my local in-season wild greens, malva and dandelion. Most people know about dandelion, and you might know how incredibly nutritious it is. Malva is not as commonly known, but is also highly nutritious and very mild in flavor. So it's easy to use a lot without ruining your juice by creating something too bitter. If you don't know of any wild edible greens in your area, it not be as nutritious but will still taste great without them. You could add another type of green nutritional powerhouse such as parsley instead.
Ingredients:
1/2 pineapple
4 stalks celery
1-2 cucumbers
3-4 leaves chard
handful of wild greens (malva and dandelion), or fresh parsley if you prefer
small slice of ginger
Instructions:
Peel the pineapple and any non-organic ingredients. Juice and enjoy!
