Juice Recipe: Apple, pineapple and celery
As clichés go, hating veggies is right up there. Dull, boring and tasteless. We all have those childhood memories staring at a plate with green food on it, unpalatable and never ending.
But we evolve. Not about ways to stop eating vegetables, but new, creative ways to deliver them into our body.
Like a juice recipe mixing pineapple with vegetables and turning an otherwise boring juice into a dessert.
It is syrupy, but not just sugary, it is… caramel. A deliciously refined sweetness that pairs fantastically with otherwise neutral vegetable flavors.
This recipe may not be good enough to forget your unpleasant veggie eating memories, but is amazing at creating new joyful ones.
The green flavors of apple and celery are counteracted by the caramel tones of pineapple and neutral sweetness of carrots. The ginger is there to improve its finish.
Interesting amber color, dense but not lumpy. Works better with firm, greenish pineapple.
Drink fresh, cold or over ice.
