I’ve been interested in juicing for a while and when my besite started raving about it I could resist no more and tried whipping up her favorite recipe. I loved it so much I’ve made it a few times and have forced it down the throats of anyone who comes within a five meter radius of me. Why? Because it tastes good and in the midst of this never ending winter, it’s a great way to get in a ton of vitamins and nutrients without any additives.
After I posted a shot of my concoction on my Instagram, a few people asked for the recipe so I thought I would just do a quick post. Voila!
Ingredients:
– 1 cup of Kale
– 1 cup of spinach
– 5 thumb size chunks of pineapple (thumb size sounds weird, I know, but it’s how it was told to me and saves cleaning measuring utensils!)
– 1 orange
– 1/2 thumb size piece of fresh ginger
– 1 pear
– 2 teaspoons of chia seeds (I use the sprouted seed powder)
– 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
– 1 cup of water (optional – I added it so that it’s easier to gulp down)
How to:
Depending on your blender, either add a little at a time or throw it all in (if your machine is strong) and blend it all up!
YUM!
I swear I drank this midday and it gave me a welcomed boost of energy.
Have any other juicing recipes? Share them in a comment, I would love to try.

Do you use a heavy duty blender (like the Vitamix), or does this recipe work on a regular one?
Thanks!
Hey Sally,
I do have a Vitamix, but I just tested it out in my Cuisinart blender and it worked just as well. If you have a blender that can handle frozen fruit and ice it will be strong enough 🙂
I was just looking for green smoothing recipes when I saw yours. Tried it this morning and it is delish! Thank you so much for posting! Other sites with good green smoothie ideas are http://thegoodsisgood.com/ and http://www.twobluelemons.com/ 🙂
