Pineapple is an ingredient often used in smoothies. Pineapple has incredible benefits, and using it in smoothies is always a great idea.
Furthermore, pineapple tastes incredible and adds an amazing tropical taste to your smoothies.
One tip we could give you though is to never throw away the pineapple skin after you make a pineapple smoothie. Pineapple skin has so many benefits!
Is Drinking a Pineapple Smoothie Good For You?
Pineapple smoothies are incredibly good for your health. Pineapple contains enzymes that aid digestion, and many minerals and vitamins.
Furthermore, pineapple is associated with detoxing and reducing inflammation.
What Goes Well With Pineapple?
Pineapple works very well with many ingredients. However, the best practice is to always stick with other tropical fruit such as:
- Mango
- Papaya
- Citrus
- Banana
- Passionfruit
- Guava
- Coconut
- Lychee
Other non-tropical fruit that works very well with pineapple is:
- Avocado
- Cucumber
- Apple
- Melon
- Berries
- Kiwi
- Pomegranate
Other ingredients that go well with pineapple are:
- Chia Seeds
- Cashew Nuts
- Oats
- Matcha Powder
Is It Better To Juice Or Blend Pineapple?
To juice or not to juice? It’s a dilemma around the juicing and smoothie community.
However, we discovered that making smoothies out of the fruit rather than juicing them has more benefits because you tend to use the pulp of the fruit, sometimes the skin too, not just their juice.
So, definitely blend pineapple rather than juice it.
Does Pineapple Help Flatten Your Stomach?
Pineapple is linked to weight loss, however, the only way to lose weight is by moving more and eating better.
Calories also play an important role in your weight loss. Eat less, move more and you should see the results you want. Pineapple can aid weight loss, but it alone won’t help you drop the pounds.
