Blend pineapple, parsley, fresh ginger and cooled brewed green tea until smooth, then strain if you prefer a thinner shot. Let the tea cool first so it does not warm the fruit or make the drink less refreshing.
No, it does not detox your body. Your liver and kidneys handle waste removal; this combination can be a flavorful drink, but there is no good evidence that it flushes toxins or cleanses the body.
Yes, it contains caffeine from the green tea. The amount varies with the tea and how much is used, so people sensitive to caffeine may prefer a smaller amount or a weaker brew.
Yes, you can make it ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. It tastes freshest soon after blending, and the fruit and parsley may separate or lose some of their bright flavor as it sits.
It provides vitamin C from pineapple, but it is not an immune treatment or a way to prevent illness. Enjoy it as a fruit-and-herb drink rather than relying on it to protect you from infections.
Yes, canned pineapple works, though it can make the shot sweeter and softer in flavor. Choose pineapple packed in juice rather than syrup if you want to keep the drink less sweet.
Use less ginger or blend in more pineapple to soften its sharp heat. Fresh ginger can taste especially punchy in a small drink, so add it gradually and taste before serving.
It can be a refreshing drink before exercise, but it is not a complete source of workout fuel. The green tea supplies caffeine, so avoid it if caffeine makes you jittery or unsettles your stomach.
It may feel refreshing, and ginger is commonly used in foods and drinks for its warming flavor, but this shot is not a proven treatment for digestive problems. Its acidity may bother some people with reflux.
No, a small shot is not a balanced breakfast. It does not provide enough substantial food to keep most people satisfied, so have it alongside a meal rather than using it as a meal replacement.

Pineapple, parsley, ginger and green tea shot is a small drink made by blending pineapple and fresh parsley with ginger and brewed green tea. It is a contemporary combination rather than a preparation tied to one particular regional tradition; you can strain it for a smoother sip or leave it pulpy. Its sweet-tart fruitiness meets parsley’s fresh, herbal notes, ginger’s warmth and a faint bitterness from the tea. Serve it chilled at breakfast or as a small between-meal drink, as you might at home or from a juice bar. It is a low-calorie, plant-based option with vitamin C; pair it with oats or fruit if you want something more substantial. For a gentler, less spicy taste, use less ginger.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
