Pineapple Ginger Anti-Inflammatory Drink
Pineapple is the primary source of bromelain — protein-digesting enzymes used clinically to reduce swelling — while its clean, bright sweetness reads through metallic taste.
Gentle for nausea, metallic taste.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 cup coconut water
- ½ tsp fresh grated ginger
- Juice of ½ lime
How to make it
- Combine everything in a blender.
- Blend on high until smooth.
- Strain if you prefer it thinner — though the pulp adds beneficial fiber.
