Bloat Busting Pineapple Tonic
Developed in the Juna test kitchen after a weekend of indulgence, this is the tonic we turn to when we want to quickly diminish bloating, water-retention, and lethargy. Best part: it comes together in 5 minutes with simple ingredients.
Benefits:
• Celery: stimulates the production of stomach acid and gastric relaxation (the movements your stomach makes to pass food through your gut). Rich in magnesium, which serves as a gentle constipation aid.
• Pineapple: rich in the enzyme bromelain, which aids in the swift break down of proteins and reduces inflammation in the bowel.
• Lemon: a natural bitter that activates receptors on your tongue to signal the production of digestive liquids.
• Coconut water: rich in potassium, which works as a natural diuretic by equalizing sodium levels.
•Detox Drops: support debloat, detoxification, digestion and blood glucose to help regulate appetite and metabolism.
