This blend of green leaf vegetables, fruits, and herbs makes a complexly flavored beverage. Increasing the citrus taste from the pineapple and the lime helps make the green juice more palatable. The ginger adds an additional layer of complexity.
Ingredients
edit- 120 mL (½ cup) freshly-squeezed lime juice
- 490 g (17 oz / ½ each) pineapple
- 238 g (8 oz / 6 leaves) Swiss chard or collard greens
- 124 g (4 oz / 1 bunch) fresh cilantro
- 26 g (1 oz / 1 piece) fresh ginger root
