Anti-Inflammatory Pineapple, Mango and Ginger Smoothie
luscious, rich tropical colors in a healthy smoothie!
Can we talk?
If so, let me tell you that I just cannot get enough of fresh pineapple! I know that it’s not grown locally since we don’t live in Hawaii or any other tropical location, but I cannot live without FRESH cut pineapple.
Here’s why:
Peeps, some of us may suffer from, let’s just say . . . being **plugged up**.
{My issue since birth, unfortunately}
So through the years I turned to what I’ve jokingly and lovingly called, my ‘poo pills‘, you know those ‘colon cleansing’ pills on the market. Although highly effective (especially if you take too many!), I prefer the natural method . . . by what I put in my mouth!
Enter the miraculous tropical fruit of PINEAPPLE!
I had absolutely no idea that pineapple helped people with, uh . . . this issue!
A native islander of Hawaii told me this years ago while we were on a trip to the islands and ever since knowing this ‘natural’ little secret, I’ve included fresh cut pineapple (NOT CANNED) in my nutrition.
Miracles result my friends . . . miracles!
And naturally, to boot!
So in the event that one may tire of just eating pineapple chunks, here’s another great way to include pineapple in your routine PLUS get some anti-inflammatory benefits on top!
Pineapple has known used for centuries to reduce pain and inflammation. There’s this enzyme in pineapples called bromeliad that has proven medicinal benefits. Those benefits that I know I personally enjoy as I reach a few years older are reduced swelling and pain. Add in some ginger and you’ve got a massively anti-inflammatory combination. So for a super healthy anti-inflammatory smoothie, just combine the pineapple and ginger into a smoothie recipe!
You’ll love this smoothie! And it won’t even feel like you’re eating something good for you!

Hi
I cannot see a recipe- not sure if there was one?
Dear Kaye,
I have no idea why that recipe card was lost! Technology can be so crazy at times, can’t it? I have re-posted the recipe and it appears at my end now. Hopefully, yours too!
Cheers to good health!

What a delicious and healthy smoothie, Roz! I would love one right now;) Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I’ve said it on other sites but i really do need to work smoothies into my diet. This one sounds too good to pass up, Roz.
Your smoothie looks delicious, Roz, and what a bonus that it is actually good for me too! Fresh pineapple is one of my favorite fruits.
Thanks Cathy . . . I do like smoothies to taste great, but when they have other added healthy benefits, it’s even better!
Roz
Your smoothie sounds delicious and as an extra bonus it is healthy…that is a good thing.
Adoriamo gli smoothies ….quando deve essere profumato questo oltre che salutare!

It sounds yummy even if it didn’t have all those benefits! I love mango and fresh pineapple. I had no idea they were good for you in so many ways. Sometimes after going for a walk in the evenings my knees feel tender the next day. I will have to try this and see if it helps. Thank you so much, Roz!
Hi Shari, I had no idea either a bout the health benefits of these fruits until a native Hawaiian told us. It really WORKS!

I just had a HUGE glass of mango smoothie. Next time I will add ginger in it too. Thanks for sharing, Roz.
My pleasure to always share with you, dear Angie! You educate me more than you know!

I’ve only recently fallen in love with mangoes, but I’ve always adored pineapple. This smoothie sounds perfect—who doesn’t need a little less inflammation??? And what a delicious way to improve how I feel 🙂
It’s a good smoothie, Liz and it ‘does the trick’, if you know what I mean!
