Join me today to prepare some delicious Pineapple & Spinach juice.  I chose this combination because Pineapple is high in Vitamin C which helps me combat any airborne illness and therefore, boost’s my immune system. Spinach is high in Vitamin A which is involved in immune function, vision, reproduction, and cellular communication. Vitamin A also supports cell growth and differentiation, playing a critical role in the normal formation and maintenance of the heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs. bullet will blend all your fruits and veggies to a nice smooth texture. I hope you enjoy the video and try this amazing mix at home!!!

Pineapple

Although the season for pineapple runs from March through June, they are available year-round in local markets. This is one of my favorite fruits to boost my immune because it is super high in vitamin C. Pineapple is sweet, hydrating with a tiny bit of tart when fully ripened.  Best time to slice your pineapple is when it’s mostly brownish mixed with dark yellow and you are able to smell that sweet pleasant scent.
