This dairy-free Cucumber, Parsley, Pineapple and Lemon Smoothie is great for alleviating inflammation, asthma and airborne allergies.
Cucumber, Parsley, Pineapple Smoothie
I’ve been on a smoothie kick all summer, it’s my go-to breakfast after a workout and also a great way to clean out my fridge. Rather than juicing, smoothies use the whole fruit and vegetables which retain the nutrients in the skins and have more fiber to keep you full longer. This super healthy smoothie is surprisingly sweet and so yummy, made with absolutely no dairy – delicious!
I’ve been using The Blender Girl Smoothies Cookbook a lot this summer. The author, Tess Masters is a blender master! Her book has 100 smoothie recipes that are healthy, vegan, paleo and gluten-free. I’ve tried so many from her book and loved each and every one I’ve tried so far.
This particular smoothie is called Allergies Be Gone in her book. Tess the author says “Parsley is brilliant for alleviating inflammation, asthma and airborne allergies. This blend’s mineral salts neutralizes acids, purifies blood, cleanses skin, detoxifies tissues and organs, assists with elimination of heavy metals, flushes out kidneys and aids in urinary tract health.”

I’ve made this several times. It’s really good even without added sweetener. Today I added some leftover coconut milk and protein powder to make it more substantial as a meal but it’s amazing as written
Hi Gina. I just wanted to thank you for this green smoothie recipe. I’ve been down all week with Omincron and started to make this for my husband and myself immediately. It’s been refreshing and exactly what we’ve needed during this time of sickness. I will continue to make this even when we are well again.💜
Glad you both enjoyed it and I hope you are well soon!!
I’ve made this several times, so good!!
I can’t digest fresh pineapple but I can canned pineapple…any significant difference?
When I input these ingredients as a drink in the Weight Watcher app, it calculated 8 points. Now I am confused. Which is correct?
This was delicious. We are not the biggest fans of parsley, however, we just cut the amount. Very filling too.
WOW! Love this bright, refreshing and energizing. Pretty much love anything lemon so had to give it a try. I added a cup of spinach that I had frozen for smoothies just because it was available and upped the nutrition. Used one package of stevia.
My pineapple was not frozen so I added 4 ice cubes.
This was SO good, I had to make it the next day. I Messed this one up, though, keeping with the green theme, I added a handful of kale (not baby kale). The kale was too bitter, so won’t do that again.
ANYWAY …. I love this ( without kale) and it will be a go to for my lunches.
I added fresh ginger to my smoothies and skipped the sweetener. This smoothie has not only helped me loose my belly it has helped clear my skin of acne marks and helped shrink my pores and smooth all of my skin.. Â I love to drink this in the morning and at night.Â
I’ve been making something similar to this with green tea (instead of coconut or plain water) and frozen shelled edamame added for protein. Â I skip the sweetener because I like sour and tangy things.Â
Quite refreshing! I made it with regular water, not coconut, and fresh, not frozen, pineapple.
Can I drink this before bed???
A tad tangy for me. I used agave nectar to sweeten mine. Very refreshing and tasty otherwise.
