Refreshing green juice

Ingredients:

• 2 stalks of celery
• 1 large cucumber
• 1 cup of fresh pineapple (or canned pineapple without added sugar if fresh is unavailable)
• 1 handful of fresh parsley
• 1 green apple (or red apple if preferred)
• 1 piece of yacon (about 100-150 g)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Wash all the ingredients thoroughly.
   • Cut the celery stalks into large pieces to make blending easier.
   • Peel the cucumber if it’s not organic and cut it into chunks.
   • Peel and cut the pineapple into small chunks.
   • Wash the parsley and remove the thicker stems.
   • Cut the apple into quarters, removing the core and seeds.
   • Peel the yacon and cut it into small pieces. If yacon is unavailable, you can omit it or substitute with more pineapple or apple.
2. Blend:
   • Place all the ingredients into a high-speed blender.
   • Add a little water (about 1-2 cups, depending on the desired consistency) to help blend the ingredients smoothly.
   • Blend on high speed until you get a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
3. Strain (Optional):
   • If you prefer a juice without pulp, you can strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. This step is optional as the juice can also be enjoyed with the pulp for a thicker texture.
4. Serve:
   • Pour the green juice into glasses with ice if you prefer it chilled.
   • You can garnish with a sprig of parsley or a cucumber slice on the rim of the glass for a special touch.

Additional Tips:

• If the juice is too tangy or bitter, you can adjust the flavor by adding a bit more apple or pineapple.
• For an extra touch of freshness, add a splash of lemon juice.
• This juice is best enjoyed immediately to make the most of its nutrients but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
