Green Citrus Pineapple Punch
By Claire Georgiou, Reboot Naturopath, B.HSc ND
Here is another sweet, green juice with a hint of basil! Basil can really give a recipe a refreshing flavour, you can add as little or as much as you like. I suggest adding a very small amount to find what works for you tasting as you go! Here are more fun facts on pineapple: bromelain, the enzyme found in pineapples, can reduce swelling, bruising, healing time, and pain associated with injury and surgery. So, bottoms up!
