Why Pineapple Mint Infused Water Is a Gut-Loving Favorite
I created this blend after a summer BBQ where let’s just say… I had “one too many sides.” My stomach was bloated, my digestion sluggish, and water alone wasn’t cutting it. I pulled out a ripe pineapple and fresh mint from the fridge, threw them in a pitcher, and what happened next? Instant relief. ✨
Here’s what makes it work:
- Pineapple contains bromelain, a powerful enzyme that helps break down protein and reduce bloating
- Mint calms digestive spasms and supports bile flow, making it ideal for post-meal sipping
- The combo is refreshing, cooling, and naturally sweet no added sugar required
This pineapple mint infused water is now my go-to digestive companion.
