Pineapple Ginger Spinach Juice with Pear & Daikon

Pineapple and pear star in this crisp juice recipe, but the inclusion of ginger and daikon make for Asian-inspired deliciousness.

Ingredients

pineapple 9 oz 255 g 1/3 pineapple
pear 3.5 oz 99 g 1/2 medium pear
spinach 1 oz 28 g 1 cup
daikon radish 7.25 oz 206 g 1/3 radish
ginger 0.7 oz 20 g 2 1/3 inches ginger
cilantro 0.3 oz 9 g 4 sprigs
serrano chilies 0.15 oz 4 g 1/2 pepper

Directions

  1. Wash all produce (make sure all of the dirt is removed from the daikon radish).

  2. Remove the green crown from the pineapple and cut, separating into thirds. If using a juice press, leave the skin on the pineapple. 

  3. Juice all ingredients together.

Pro tips

  • When putting the produce into the juicer, it is best to use a mix of greens and the softer fruits like pineapple. The greens grind better this way and the end result is more juice.

  • Leave 2 or 3 chunks of pear for the very end, as pears do a good job at cleaning the grinder and pushing any bits of mint or pineapple through that didn’t make it through.

  • Cilantro tastes like “soapy dimes” to a small percentage of people, so be sure to leave that out if you or someone your serving falls into that group.

  • Remove the green crown, but leave the skin on the pineapple if using a Goodnature juice press. It contains a high concentration of valuable nutrients.
