Happy Vegan MoFo, everyone!
It’s so exciting to be back at the party again this year! A lot can happen in 12 11 months. My vegan journey and passion for nutrition led me to The Institute for Integrative Nutrition earlier this year where I began studies as a Holistic Health Coach. So it’s probably no surprise that I chose the ‘Healthy’ Category for this shindig. * Cue sparkles! *
And what better way to kick this party off than the way I love to kick every day off – with a nourishing green juice!
I’m a big fan of Celery, Apple, Lemon & Ginger Green Juice but figured we needed something just a little more special to celebrate Vegan MoFo coinciding with the first day of Spring in Australia.
Pineapple packs a powerful nutrient punch with high levels of Vitamin C, Manganese and enzymes beneficial to digestion.
Mint boasts high levels of Vitamins A & C, Iron, Manganese, and is often used to help soothe IBS and of course, to promote fresh breath.
Baby Spinach is no wussy either, packing high levels of Vitamin A & K, Folate and Manganese.
Is there any better way to celebrate the start of your day? xx

Pineapple & Mint Green Juice
Ingredients
- 1 small pineapple skin removed

September 17, 2013 at 8:05 pm (12 years ago)Ooh, I love the sound of that, Erin. That might just be in tomorrow’s glass. 🙂

Marie
September 4, 2013 at 5:37 pm (12 years ago)This looks amazing, did you put through a juicer or in a blender?
* Vegan Sparkles *
September 9, 2013 at 7:43 pm (12 years ago)Through a juicer, Marie, although it’d make a lovely smoothie in a blender too. 🙂
Anna Mercer
September 4, 2013 at 5:50 pm (12 years ago)Winner!! I have half a pineapple in the fridge, spinach in the freezer and mint in the garden. That’s breakfast sorted! Thanks Bex Sparkles 🙂

Lisa
September 4, 2013 at 6:18 pm (12 years ago)Looks amazing, Bex! Such a gorgeous colour and I love the garnish, too. My absolute favourite thing to do with pineapple is juice it then whizz it up with ice, kiwi fruit and fresh strawberries in the blender. Can’t wait ’til summer is upon us!

September 9, 2013 at 7:43 pm (12 years ago)YUM, that sounds SO good, Lisa! 🙂
