Toss the OJ!

I don't know what is in the store bought juices but recently I made OJ and it was much thicker. It got me thinking about what I consume in the morning to fuel my day.

Recently I made this smoothie, it is a nutritional powerhouse morning drink worth trying.....a lil spicy!

Health Benefits of Fresh Pineapple:

• Bromelain: The most heavily studied compound in pineapple, primarily found in the stem, core, and fruit. It is a mixture of protein-digesting enzymes well known for breaking down proteins and modulating inflammation

• Polyphenols & Flavonoids: Compounds like gallic acid, catechin, epicatechin, and quercetin act as powerful antioxidants

• Organic & Ascorbic Acid: Pineapple is a great source of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and contains diverse organic acids that support overall metabolism

Health Benefits of Fresh Ginger:

• Gingerol: Provides potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. May reduce inflammatory markers throughout the body, providing relief for chronic inflammatory conditions

• Digestive Health: Speeds up gastric emptying, which may help relieve indigestion, bloating, and an upset stomach

• Pain Reduction: Helps soothe muscle soreness after intense exercise and may alleviate symptoms associated with menstrual cramps

Health Benefits of Fresh Turmeric:

• Inflammation Reduction: Curcumin helps neutralize free radicals and inhibits molecules that trigger inflammation

• Antioxidant Action: By shielding cells from oxidative stress, it may offer preventative benefits against chronic issues

• Fresh turmeric root: contains Curcumin alongside naturally occurring essential oils that enhance its anti-inflammatory effects. It provides a milder, earthier flavor

• Maximize Absorption: Piperine, the active compound in black pepper, can enhance Curcumin absorption by up to 2,000%

• Natural Halochromic PH Indicator: You may notice your smoothie starts to turn orange. Curcumin is a natural phytochemical. It changes color based on the acidity and alkalinity of its environment

• Acidic (pH < 7.5): Remains a bright, golden yellow

• Neutral (pH ~ 7.5): Remains yellow

• Alkaline/Basic (pH > 8.5): Shifts to an orange, deep red, reddish-brown, or dark brown/black in strong bases

Enjoy!

Namaste.
