I love making delightful, healthful concoctions, and my juice for digestion and an upset stomach fits the bill. It has the powerful anti-inflammatory properties of fresh ginger, the natural sweetness of pineapple, and the alkalizing and hydrating deliciousness of lemon and cucumber.

This juice not only helps in the moment if you’re not feeling well but is also good for gut health.

FAQ

• Can I use frozen pineapple instead of fresh?If fresh pineapple is not available, using frozen pineapple is perfectly fine. Just make sure it is fully thawed before blending.
• Is it necessary to peel the cucumber?To avoid bitterness and to promote the juiciness of the cucumber juice, you may want to peel the cucumber first. If you prefer more fiber and a bit of a crunch, though, you can leave the skin on.
• Can I substitute the green apple with another type of apple?Of course! Even though green apples impart a level of tartness, you’re absolutely not limited to them; varieties like Fuji or Gala can yield a much sweeter flavor profile.
• How can I adjust the sweetness?You can skip the honey for a less sweet drink, or add more if you want a sweeter beverage.
• What is the best way to juice the ginger?The optimal way is to finely grate the ginger or use a juicer to extract juice for the drink’s better distribution.
• Can I make this juice ahead of time?While it is most enjoyable fresh, you can keep it in the fridge for up to a day in an airtight vessel.
• What are the benefits of adding mint leaves?This juice benefits from the addition of mint leaves, which not only aid in digestion but also give a refreshing flavor.

Pro Tips

1. Chill Your Ingredients Place your fruits and cucumber in the fridge a few hours before preparing the recipe. This will ensure the final drink is extra refreshing.

2. Adjust Sweetness Taste the blended mixture before adding honey. Pineapple and apple usually add enough sweetness, so you may not need any honey. Adjust the amount based on personal preference.

3. Frozen Cubes Consider freezing some of the juice into ice cube trays. Use these cubes instead of regular ice to avoid diluting the flavor of your drink over time.

4. Mint Infusion Gently bruise the mint leaves before adding them to release more of their aromatic oils for enhanced flavor.

5. Presentation Tip Garnish each serving glass with a small pineapple wedge or a sprig of mint to make your presentation more attractive and add a hint of aroma.
