Day 18: 

Juice: Double Apple

Double Apple:
2 Apples
1/3 Pineapple
1 Small Bunch of Mint


Oh, this is delicious!
Pineapple is my favorite fruit and I am big fan of mint in my juice, so.....this juice is bliss in a glass!
*Note: I wanted a little less juice, so I only used one apple.*












Pineapples are amazing and we'll have time to talk about them another day. But today I just want to go over how to cut one up. When I first started juicing, cutting up a pineapple seemed daunting. Having pretty much only eaten them out of a can or bought them pre-sliced from the store, I wasn't really sure what to do. Eventually, I sucked it up and bought one whole took it home and... googled 'How to cut up a pineapple'. Now, for all of you out there I have written up some instructions for you.
Step 1
Get a Pineapple, Cutting Board and a Big Ole Knife

Step 2
Cut off the top and the bottom of the pineapple.
Step 3 
Shave the outside of the pineapple off with the knife. Since you are juicing it, don't worry about it being perfect. The juicer can handle a little bit of the rind. 

Note: 
If you are cutting the pineapple to eat, you will not want the core (the whitish part in the middle). So, you should cut the sides off around the core and cube it. However, for most juicers (even the cheap little ones) the core wont matter.

Step 4:
Slice it and cube it. Store it any way you'd like. 
Again don't worry about imperfections on the outside.
