‘Tis the season for lightening up our bellies – not just for swimsuit season – but simply because warmer temps mean we need less calories to sustain ourselves and feel less hungry for heavy & rich foods.
Throwing in some simple herbs from the garden brightens the light blend of frozen pineapple and pear even more. Fennel, ginger and mint all aid in smooth digestion and add a unique flavour as well as enhance the flavours of our base fruits.
The enzyme bromelain in pineapple helps your body break down proteins more efficiently and lemon juice supports liver function, which is super important for detoxification.
Add this to your day and it will prime your body for better and easier digestion all day long.
