Recipe Steps
Step One
Prepare your produce for juicing. Wash everything and cut into small pieces. My juicer has a pretty narrow feeding tube, so I usually have to cut everything pretty small.
If you don’t have a juicer, you can make your juice in a Vitamix.
Step Two
Feed the chunks of fruit and veggies through the feeding tube of your juicer, along with handfuls of parsley.
Please see the recipe card at the end of this post for the exact ingredients and measurements.
Step Three
Serve the Parsley Juice immediately, or store any leftovers in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Please note that pregnant women and people who are on blood thinners should be cautious when consuming parsley, as it is very high in vitamin K and can cause an increase in bleeding.
