Ingredients
Method
- Prep veggies. Cut pineapple, cucumber, and celery into small pieces. Remove the tough stems from the spinach and parsley.
- Blend. Place everything into a blender putting the waterier things like pineapple and cucumber first to get the blender going. Add the juice from 1 lime. Blend on high until everything is well blended and smooth. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your blender.
- Strain. Pour mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher or large liquid measuring cup.
- Enjoy! Drink right away or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes
- To make in a juicer: Press pineapple, spinach, cucumber, celery, parsley, and nopales through a juicer. Stir in lime juice. Chill or serve over ice.
- Nopales: Look for fresh nopales (cactus paddles) at your local Latin market. I like to use ones that already have the thorns removed and are cut into pieces. Do not use canned nopales.
- Strained leftovers. Compost the fibers from the vegetables and fruits or use them instead of the grated carrots and apples in these Apple Oatmeal Muffins.
- Make ahead/storage: The juice is best consumed within a day of making. If you'd like to prep ahead the best idea is to prepare all the fruits and veggies then blend when you are ready to enjoy. If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container (like a Mason Jar) for up to 3 days.
