Suitable For: Anyone feeling bloated or overly full after a large meal (hello, holiday season!), individuals looking to support gut health, or those seeking a gentle digestive reset.
Health Benefits: Pineapple contains bromelain, a natural enzyme that helps break down proteins and aids digestion. Celery is a natural diuretic that can help reduce bloating and provides anti-inflammatory benefits in the gut. Fennel is a classic carminative, known for its ability to relieve gas and soothe the digestive tract.
Ingredients
- Fresh Pineapple Chunks -- 1 cup (165g)
- Celery Stalks -- 3 large (150g)
- Fennel Bulb -- ½ medium (115g)
- Green Apple -- ½ (75g, optional for sweetness)
Steps
- Prep: Wash all produce. Cut the rind off the pineapple. Trim the celery stalks. Cut the fennel bulb into wedges. If using, core the apple.
- Juice: Feed the pineapple, celery, fennel, and apple (if using) through your slow juicer. The fibrous celery and fennel are great for pushing softer fruits through.
- Serve: Pour immediately and sip slowly to allow the digestive-aiding compounds to work their magic.
Tips & Variations
- Don't discard the leafy fennel fronds! They are full of flavor and nutrients and can be juiced along with the bulb.
- A few mint leaves can add a refreshing touch that also helps soothe the stomach.
Best Time to Drink
About 20-30 minutes after a heavy meal to aid digestion, or in the morning on an empty stomach for a gentle gut cleanse.
