Nopal Cactus Juice

Nopal cactus paddles, better known as prickly pear, are known for their ability to help balance blood sugar levels. These interesting vegetables also contain plenty of fiber to help keep your body healthy. To reduce the labor required to make this thick, smoothie-like beverage, choose cactus paddles that have already been de-spined. Use a blender or a juicer equipped with a large screen to preserve the thick, health-promoting pulp that this juice produces.

Ingredients

1 cups spinach leaves

1 medium cactus paddle

1 large tangerine

1 cup strawberries

Wash all ingredients and remove the spines from the cactus with pliers if necessary. Hull the strawberries, discarding the leaves, then peel the tangerine and remove any seeds. Blend or juice the spinach and cactus, adding water if necessary to keep the motor from laboring. Add the fruit, processing until there are no visible chunks and the mixture is smooth and thick.
