33 Juicing Recipes for Weight Loss - Watermelon-Apple-Pineapple-Kiwi Juice with Parsley and Basil

Ingredients:

1 cup watermelon

1 cup apple

1 cup pineapple

1 cup kiwi

A sprig of basil

A sprig of parsley

Preparation:

1.      Wash watermelon then dry thoroughly (cutting a wet watermelon can be dangerous). Cut the watermelon into quarters.

2.      Remove the flesh of the watermelon from the rind and cut into chunks, enough for two cups. Wrap the rest of the watermelon in Saran wrap including the rind, label, then place in the freezer or chiller.

3.      Wash the apple thoroughly. If the apples were bought at a supermarket, check for the wax coating. To get rid of the wax coating, prepare a mixture of water, baking soda, and a dash of lemon. Dip an old toothbrush in the mixture and gently brush the apples. Alternatively, you can buy your apples from a local farmer’s market.

4.      Core the apples with a corer or cut the fleshy parts away with a knife and throw the core away. It is important not to juice any part of the core especially the seeds – they contain cyanide.

5.      Cut the apples into chunks, enough to fill one cup.

6.      Wash and peel the pineapple, making sure to cut the ‘eyes’ or spots out.

7.      Cut the pineapple into chunks, setting aside one cup. Wrap the rest of the pineapple in Saran wrap, label with time and date, then place in the chiller or freezer.

8.      Wash the kiwi and peel them by slicing off both ends then stand the kiwi. Gently run a sharp knife along the fruit from top to bottom until the fruits are completely peeled.

9.      Toss the basil in with the kiwi and juice.

10.  Toss the parsley in with the pineapple and juice.

11.  Juice the apples.

12.  Juice watermelon.
