Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large ripe pineapple, peeled and chopped
- 3-inch piece of fresh ginger root, peeled
- 1/2 cup cold filtered water (if blending)
- Ice cubes for serving
- Fresh mint for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Produce – Peel the pineapple and cut it into chunks, ensuring you keep the nutrient-rich core where bromelain is concentrated.
- Step 2: Prep Ginger – Use a spoon to scrape the skin off the ginger root and slice it into small coins.
- Step 3: Extract Juice – Feed the pineapple chunks and ginger pieces into a juicer one at a time until all liquid is extracted.
- Step 4: Blend Alternative – If using a blender, process the fruit and ginger with water until completely smooth.
- Step 5: Strain Mixture – Pour the blended liquid through a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag to remove excess pulp.
- Step 6: Serve Juice – Pour the fresh juice into glasses over ice and garnish with mint if desired.
Notes
To get the maximum anti-inflammatory benefits, drink this juice fresh to ensure the bromelain enzymes are most active.
