Can I Use Frozen Pineapple?

Yes, you can certainly use frozen pineapple for your Pineapple Ginger Anti-Inflammatory Drink! Frozen fruit is often picked at peak ripeness and flash-frozen, which helps preserve many of the nutrients. Using frozen chunks also gives your Pineapple Ginger Anti-Inflammatory Drink a thicker, more smoothie-like consistency without needing to add extra ice. Just make sure the frozen pineapple you buy doesn't have any added sugars or preservatives, so your Pineapple Ginger Anti-Inflammatory Drink remains as healthy as possible.

How Long Does It Last in the Fridge?

A fresh Pineapple Ginger Anti-Inflammatory Drink is best consumed within 24 hours. Because the ingredients are raw, they can begin to oxidize and lose their potency over time. If you must store your Pineapple Ginger Anti-Inflammatory Drink, keep it in an airtight glass jar in the coldest part of your refrigerator. Give the Pineapple Ginger Anti-Inflammatory Drink a good shake or stir before drinking, as the pulp and juice may separate as it sits. If the Pineapple Ginger Anti-Inflammatory Drink smells sour or changes color significantly, it is best to make a fresh batch.

Is It Safe for Everyone?

For most people, a Pineapple Ginger Anti-Inflammatory Drink is perfectly safe and very beneficial. However, because ginger can thin the blood slightly and pineapple is acidic, people on blood thinners or those with severe acid reflux should talk to their doctor first. If you have a sensitive stomach, start with a smaller portion of the Pineapple Ginger Anti-Inflammatory Drink to see how your body reacts to the enzymes. Most people find that their tolerance for the Pineapple Ginger Anti-Inflammatory Drink increases as their digestion becomes more efficient.
