Nutritional Information:

Pineapple is an excellent source of vitamin C, as well as vitamins B1, B6, and minerals manganese, and copper. It is also a good source of Bromelain, which helps with digestion in the intestinal tract, decreases internal inflammation, decreases excessive coagulation of the blood, and lessens certain types of tumor growth.

Pineapple Watermelon Mango Juice

1/2 of a pineapple
1/2 of a mini watermelon
1 mango
1 cup filtered water

Core and cut pineapple in half, then into chunks that will fit through your juicer chute.   Cut watermelon in half.  Cut the green outer rind away, then cut watermelon into large chunks.  Peel mango and cut into slices. Discard inner core/pit.  Push all ingredients through juicer.  Add one cup cold filtered water.  Chill for at least 30 minutes, then serve over ice.  Makes 4 cups.

I didn’t have a mango so I substituted it with peaches that we had canned.  And I didn’t add the extra water.  I ended up with my highest yielding juice yet.  With the 2 1/2 cups of peaches, I got 45 oz of juice.  And it as yummy and refreshing!!!!  I needed a change of pace.  The veggie juices were not sounding good right now.

Tropical Envy

1/2 Beet
2 Carrots
1 Stalk Celery
1/2 Cucumber
1 in. Ginger
1 handful Parsley
2 rounds Pineapple

My thoughts – Hmm!  It definitely has a strong beet flavor.  It is growing on my as I drink it. I did put in half the beet greens also so that probably enhanced the beet flavor.  Something I learned with the parsley – put it in the same time as something else, like mix it with other greens or it will just fly through and not get chopped up.  This one will have to grow on me.  The beet flavor even hides the flavor of the ginger.  That says a lot in my book.  As a side note – I think this is the first time I had a juice without an apple in it.  I decided I need a box of apples 😀
