Juice Recipe for Gut Health
Let’s talk guts, darling. Not the kind that helps you confront your ex, but the kind that keeps your whole body running smoothly. Your gut is basically the CEO of your system. When it’s off, everything else follows. Bloating, low energy, mood swings. That’s your gut spilling the tea.
So let’s calm it down with something refreshing, nourishing, and actually enjoyable to drink.
The Ultimate Gut-Soothing Juice
This fresh green-and-gold juice supports digestion, reduces inflammation, and keeps your microbiome happy without tasting like lawn clippings.
Ingredients
- 1 green apple - prebiotic fiber to feed good gut bacteria
- 1/2 cucumber - hydration support
- 1/2 cup pineapple - digestive enzymes and natural sweetness
- 1-inch fresh ginger root - helps calm inflammation
- 1/2 lemon, peeled - refreshing and cleansing
- A few fresh mint leaves - soothing and cooling
- Optional: 1/2 cup coconut water - light electrolytes and smoother texture
How to Make It
Add all ingredients to a juicer or high-speed blender. If blending, strain through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag for a smoother juice. Pour into a glass and sip slowly.
Why It Works
This juice supports digestion from multiple angles. Apples feed beneficial gut bacteria. Pineapple provides enzymes that help break down food. Ginger and mint calm digestive discomfort. Lemon supports liver function and adds brightness. Together, it’s gentle, effective, and easy to digest.
Pro Tips
- Drink on an empty stomach in the morning for best results
- Pair later with probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kefir, or kimchi
- Stay hydrated throughout the day to support digestion
Show your gut a little love and it pays you back with better digestion, steadier energy, clearer skin, and fewer mood swings. One glass at a time. 💚
