How Each Ingredient Helps
The ingredients chosen for this tasty smoothie can help settle a bloated stomach. Pineapples contain an enzyme called bromelain that can help aid digestion. Papaya is full of fiber and protein, and another digestion-aiding protein called papain. The high levels of potassium in the cucumber can block the bloating effects of sodium. Lastly, both turmeric and ginger have excellent anti-inflammatory properties that quickly help reduce bloating. All these ingredients are also rich in a variety of vitamins and fiber, so this delicious drink is a healthy snack for any time you feel like enjoying some tropical flavors.
