Suitable For: Flu season protection, post-workout recovery, and lovers of sweet, tropical flavors.
Health Benefits: A potent anti-inflammatory cocktail. Turmeric contains curcumin, which fights inflammation. Bromelain in pineapple aids digestion and reduces swelling. The high Vitamin C content from the orange and pineapple strengthens the immune system.
Ingredients
- Pineapple -- 1/2 fruit (skin removed, cut into spears/cubes)
- Carrots -- 3 medium
- Orange -- 1 medium (peeled)
- Fresh Turmeric -- 1 small knob (or 1 tsp powder stirred in after)
Steps
-
Prep: Remove the thick skin from the pineapple and orange. Wash the carrots and turmeric.
-
Juice: Feed the turmeric and orange into the juicer first, followed by the pineapple and carrots. (Turmeric can stain, so rinsing your juicer immediately after is recommended).
-
Stir: If using turmeric powder instead of fresh root, whisk it into the juice now.
- Serve: Pour into a glass over ice.
Tips & Variations
-
The Black Pepper Hack: Crucial Tip! Add a pinch of black pepper to the finished juice. It increases the absorption of turmeric’s curcumin by up to 2000%.
-
Creamy Twist: Blend the finished juice with a splash of coconut milk for a tropical smoothie vibe.
- Zingy: Add a lime for a sharper citrus profile.
Best Time to Drink
Mid-day when energy lags, or immediately after a workout to help muscle recovery and reduce inflammation.
