❓ Rapid-Fire FAQ
Will my smoothie taste like a garnish? Surprisingly, no! The sweet and tangy pineapple is the dominant flavor. The parsley adds a fresh, “green” background note that’s really pleasant.
Can I use dried parsley? Absolutely not. For this recipe, you need the flavor, water content, and nutrients of the fresh herb.
I don’t have pineapple. What else can I use? Mango or papaya are also great choices as they contain digestive enzymes, too.
