Cucumber, Parsley, Pineapple and Lemon Smoothie

Cucumber, Parsley, Pineapple and Lemon Smoothie

I’ve been on a smoothie kick all summer, it’s my go-to breakfast after a workout and also a great way to clean out my fridge. Rather than juicing, smoothies use the whole fruit and vegetables which retain the nutrients in the skins and have more fiber to keep you full longer. This super healthy smoothie is surprisingly sweet and so yummy, made with absolutely no dairy – delicious!

This particular smoothie is called Allergies Be Gone in her book. Tess the author says “Parsley is brilliant for alleviating inflammation, asthma and airborne allergies. This blend’s mineral salts neutralizes acids, purifies blood, cleanses skin, detoxifies tissues and organs, assists with elimination of heavy metals, flushes out kidneys and aids in urinary tract health.”
