Pineapple Juice
Pineapple juice is sweet, golden, and simply delicious. Pineapples contain bromelain, a group of enzymes that help reduce inflammation. The fruit is also rich in vitamin C, which boosts your immune system and promotes healthy skin.
The soft, fibrous fruit can be tricky to juice, but we’ve uncovered a technique that makes juicing pineapple foolproof. For a more detailed guide on how to juice pineapple, read this post.

Pineapple Skin Tea
After juicing pineapples, you can reduce waste by making a tea using the skin. Pineapple peel tea has the same benefits as pineapple juice; it’s anti-inflammatory, supports digestion, and aids gut health.
You can make the tea with your choice of spices and sweetener, and serve it either hot or cold.
