    💚 Why you will love this recipe

    • Naturally sweet relief
    • Digestive health boost
    • Simple, fresh ingredients
    • Quick to prepare
    • Soothing ginger kick

    🧾 Ingredients

    The ingredients that make this juice so good are:

    labeled ingredients to make pineapple juice for constipation.
    • Fresh pineapple: Packed with fiber and bromelain, it aids digestion and helps soften stool.
    • Apple: High in dietary fiber and sorbitol, it supports bowel regularity and offers a sweet balance.
    • Fresh ginger root: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, it soothes the digestive system.

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Substitutions

    • Fresh pineapple: To maintain the flavor profile and nutritional benefits, you can substitute with equal parts of canned pineapple (in juice, not syrup).
    • Apple: No fresh apples? Opt for unsweetened apple sauce or pear as a sweet, fiber-rich alternative.
    • Fresh ginger root: Ground ginger can be used in a pinch, though fresh is preferred for its zing and potency. Use ¼ teaspoon of ground ginger for every tablespoon of fresh ginger required.

    🔪 Instructions

    Hint: You might think about grabbing that strainer to get a super smooth juice, but hold up a sec. The whole magic trick to getting your digestive tract on the express lane is all that fiber packed in the pineapple, apple, and ginger. So, if the juice feels a bit too thick for your liking, splash in some more water. But honestly? Embrace the fiber. It's your gut's best friend in this mix.

    Read on: how to juice without a juicer

    💡 Expert Tips

    First off, always opt for ripe pineapple and apples. Your fruit's ripeness impacts the sweetness and ensures you're getting the maximum amount of natural juice. A ripe pineapple has a sweet aroma at its base and gives slightly to pressure, while a ripe apple feels firm and has a crisp bite.

    Another tip is to adjust the ginger according to your taste. If you're new to ginger's robust flavor, start with a small amount and add more as you get used to the zing. Ginger is potent, and its intensity can vary from root to root, so it's best to add it gradually.

    Although you could use a juicer, we don't recommend it because you would be missing out on fiber, an essential component of this functional juice. The fiber in the fruits not only aids digestion but also contributes to the overall effectiveness of the juice in combating constipation. Keeping the fiber intact ensures you get the full health benefits this juice offers.

    ✅ Health benefits

    Pineapple brings a hefty dose of fiber, not to mention bromelain, an enzyme that helps break down protein and ease digestion. This means smoother sailing for your digestive tract and a natural push towards regularity.

    But the goodness doesn't stop there. Apples, with their fiber-rich profile, step in to add both sweetness and substance. They're loaded with soluble and insoluble fiber, bulking up stool and speeding its journey through your intestines. Plus, the sorbitol in apples draws water into the colon, making stool softer and easier to pass. It's nature's way of keeping things moving.

    Then there's ginger, the warming spice that not only adds a kick to your juice but also boasts anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits. Ginger has been celebrated for centuries for its ability to soothe the stomach and reduce bloating. It's like a comforting pat on the back for your digestive system, encouraging it to do its thing without any fuss.

    Together, these three ingredients create a powerhouse juice to alleviate constipation and support overall digestive health. As a bonus, you're sipping on a drink brimming with antioxidants and vitamins, boosting your immune system and providing a refreshing energy lift. It's a delicious, natural way to help your body reset and refresh while keeping you hydrated and happy.

    🥡 Storage

    Refrigerate Promptly: Pour any leftover juice into a glass bottle or an airtight container. The less air the juice is exposed to, the better it will keep its freshness and nutritional value.

    Keep it Cool: Store the juice in the fridge immediately. This delightful concoction is best enjoyed cold and will stay fresh for up to 48 hours. Remember, fresh is best, especially when discussing reaping those digestive benefits.

    Shake Before Use: Natural separation is totally expected because you're getting all the fiber goodness without any processing. Give it a good shake before pouring yourself another glass to mix everything back together.

    Yes, this juice is suitable for children, but in smaller quantities. Start with a small glass to ensure it agrees with their digestive system. Be mindful of the amount of ginger!

    Can I add other fruits or vegetables to this juice?

    Absolutely! Feel free to experiment by adding fiber-rich fruits or vegetables like carrots or beets to tailor the taste and enhance the nutritional value.
