Usher in the spring with this JUICY, BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING recipe! I stumbled upon this recipe while juicing a few foods to clean out my fridge, and wow! It tastes amazing. The juice is beautiful, refreshing, and delicious.

Here is a quick nutrition summary for this beautiful drink!

Red cabbage is 90-cent water and low in carbohydrates and sugar. It is a great source of vitamins A, K, C, B6 and B1, and folate, in addition to potassium and manganese. It is a good source for magnesium, calcium, and iron. The beautiful, rich color of red cabbage is due to its concentration of anthocyanin polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory properties.
Fresh pineapple is a great source of vitamin C and manganese, and a good source for vitamins B-complex and folate. Pineapple also contains an a enzyme called bromeline, which aids in digestion.
Green apples is a good source of vitamin C, and contain phytonutrients that help to regulate blood sugar.
