PINEAPPLE GINGER CLEANSING JUICE



Pineapples are tropical fruit that is rich in vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants. They may help boost the immune system, build strong bones and aid in digestion. Also, despite their sweetness, pineapples are low in calories.




Ginger is a popular ingredient in cooking, and especially in Asian and Indian cuisine. It has also been used for thousands of years for medicinal purposes. The possible health benefits include relieving nausea, loss of appetite, motion sickness, and pain.

    • 1 cup of fresh pineapple 
    • A teaspoon of grated ginger 
    • 1 cup of water 
    • 1 lime, peeled

Instructions


Place the lid on the blender (or cover the cup if using a handheld blender), and then press your blender’s appropriate blending button to combine the mixture. Your smoothie is ready when all ingredients are thoroughly mixed together. If you are using cubed or crushed ice, use the ice crusher setting on your blender to chop and blend the ice into the smoothie.

Benefits

This pineapple ginger detox drink offers a slew of nutritional benefits.  Pineapple is a good source of vitamin c (which helps support the immune system) and magnesium (which is essential for proper nerve and muscle function).  Pineapple contains a nutrient called bromelain which is proteolytic that provides cleansing benefits and helps support digestion by breaking down protein.    Limes are also a good source of Vitamin C and contain flavonoid compounds that have antioxidant and anti-cancer properties. Ginger is a potent anti-inflammatory and it stimulates digestion and aids in the proper absorption of nutrients from foods. Water is the major component of the human body. On average, it represents 60% of an adult's body weight.
