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:
• 1 teaspoon Maple syrup/ honey
• 3 cups water
• Juice of half a lemon
• 4 cups pineapple
• 1 cucumber peeled and chopped
• 1 cup kale leaves
Method:
Combine all ingredients in a juicer/ blender/ mixer and make smooth purée. I have a vitamix mixer which I absolutely adore for all my juicing, grinding and blending needs! 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.

such a healthy drink. how does it taste? I mean sweet or sour or something else?
It is a sweet drink highlighted with the tartness of lemon and pineapple .. Khatta meetha as we would say in Hindi.. But definitely not sour. You can add more honey or maple syrup if you like it sweeter.
Very healthy drink and refreshing with cucumbers n nice color..
