This Pineapple and Turmeric Smoothie recipe is delicious and so good for you! Smoothies are a great way to get a good burst of nutrients when time is short, making them perfect for breakfast or snacks.
Pineapple is great for gut health as it contains fibre and the digestive enzyme bromelain. This enzyme helps break down protein foods and aid the digestive process. You can may find it helps improve bloating. Pineapple also contains good amounts of Vitamin C, potassium and magnesium.
Turmeric has been used for its medicinal properties for centuries. It is a natural anti-inflammatory and can help prevent indigestion.
Ginger is another great ingredient that can help our gut health. Ginger stimulates the process of moving food through your gut so it doesn’t sit and ferment, causing pain and bloating.
