What a great way to quench your thirst and satisfy your sweet cravings! We had a nice warm weekend here on the Central Coast, and wanted to enjoy it sitting out in our courtyard. This drink was a perfect way to celebrate Spring. Pineapples are one of the tastiest fruits to juice, are packed with nutrients and digestive enzymes. For a full flavor, it is best to choose a ripe pineapple. You'll know the fruit is ripe when it has developed a golden tint, smells sweet, and slightly soft to the touch.
Try adding chia seeds to your juices or smoothies. They add protein and Omega-3 oils to your diet, balances blood sugar, provides anti-aging and anti-oxidant properties and will give you an energy boost.
Pineapple Mint Pick-Me-Up
Juice of 1 ripe Pineapple
1/2 cup of mint leaves
1 Tbsp chia seeds
Juice pineapple in your juicer. In a cocktail shaker or jar, crush mint leaves with a muddler to release mint oils. Pour pineapple juice on mint and shake to combine.
With chia seeds in the glass, strain the pineapple mint juice over the seeds and let it stand for 10 minutes. Garnish with mint leaf and serve.
