Pineapple kale cucumber drink

Kale is a green leafy vegetable belonging to the cabbage family.  It is a great source of vitamins 'A', 'C', magnesium, potassium and iron. It is nutritionally very rich and is considered as a natural remedy for ailments like high blood pressure, cholestrol and even some cancers. This refreshing juice recipe combines kale with the goodness of pineapple.




Ingredients:

• 4 cups pineapple
• 1 cucumber peeled and chopped
• 1 cup kale leaves
• Maple syrup/ honey
• 3 cups water
• Juice of half a lemon

Method:
Combine all ingredients in a juicer/ blender/ mixer and make smooth purée. Filter the juice using a sieve. Serve chilled with ice cubes.
Note: If you can't use kale leaves you may use mint leaves instead. It will taste refreshing and great but may not make up for the health benefits of kale.
