Who would have thought pineapple, ginger and turmeric root with a hint of lemon and lime would taste SO GOOD and be the detox / cleansing drink you'd crave.
This juice, while tasting delicious, offers many health benefits:
Loaded with antioxidants
Anti-inflammatory properties
Boosts your digestive system
Helps cleanse your liver
Aids in lowering cholesterol
Enhances your immune system
...and so much more!
You may be thinking to yourself, who has time to make all this when I can just go buy something off the shelf like a pre-packaged tea, drink or even pill. Well, let me tell you, you will be so pleased with the taste, how you feel, and how it kick starts your detox / cleanse you won't even think about buying one of those store brand products. PLUS, you'll only be putting natural, organic products into your body and no other additives, flavoring, coloring, preservatives, etc. Just carve out 10-20 minutes of your day to make this delicious drink, you won't be disappointed!
Ingredients
3-4 cups pineapple
2 smaller pieces of ginger root
1 lime
1 lemon
2-3 pieces of turmeric root
Distilled water (or coconut water or aloe vera water for a different taste)
Ice
How to Make this Drink
Peel and chop your ingredients (pineapple, ginger and turmeric root, lemon and lime)
Place the ingredients into your juicer (If you don't have a juicer, you can use a blender. Just make sure to cut your ingredients into smaller pieces and try to liquify them as much as possible. With a blender, the consistency will be a bit thicker than with a juicer.)
When done, pour 1/4 glass of juice, 1/4 glass of crushed ice, and 1/2 glass of water
Stir until mixed to your liking
NOTE: The reason why I limited the juice to 1/4 glass is because pineapple is a natural source of fructose and if you drink too much at one time, you might incur blood sugar spikes.
Throughout the day, drink several glasses of this juice; it will not only kick your detox / cleanse up a notch, but your body will thank you!
