Pineapple & Grapefruit Digestive Tonic

 

This grapefruit and pineapple digestive tonic will make everything better. Okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but whenever I’m having digestive complaints like bloating, constipation or an upset stomach, this takes care of it!

My body has been absolutely craving the bright citrus-y flavors of grapefruit and pineapple, and I know why. It needs their digestive enzymes and acidity to help break down my food when my digestion is a bit sluggish.

 

How Grapefruit and Pineapple Help Digestion

  1. They contain fiber which we know is vital for gut health. Our good microbes flourish with a fiber-rich diet!

  2. Pineapple contains bromelain which is an enzyme that can be help break down foods. This is especially important if you have low stomach acid.

  3. Grapefruit can increase the acidity in your stomach leading to improved digestion and breaking down of food. Many of us are low in hydrochloric acid. If you’ve noticed fullness, belching and bloating after you eat, you may be low in this powerful “digestive juice” secreted in your stomach.

 

Even if you don’t need the boost from this Pineapple and Grapefruit Digestive Tonic, you’ll benefit from the high vitamin C, fiber, water and minerals.

 

What You Need for This Digestive Tonic

  • 1 medium grapefruit

  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks

  • 1/2 cup filtered water or coconut water

  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

 

It’s most health-supporting to use organic product in this recipe, if you can find it. Organic pineapple is a bit harder to find, so if you need to use conventional frozen pineapple, that is fine. You can add on flavor components like fresh mint or basil, lime juice or even a mandarin.
