Not only does mint calm troubled stomachs, but pineapple contains bromelain which is said to consist of protein-digesting emzymes. There&#8217;s no hard evidence for it yet, but many healthcare practitioners have reported improved digestion amongst their patients who eat pineapple as part of their meal plan.<\/p>\n<h5>Ingredients<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>1\/3 ripe pineapple<\/li>\n<li>2 handfuls of fresh spinach<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 handful of fresh mint<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp ground flaxseed<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp chia seeds<\/li>\n<li>Water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Method<\/h5>\n<ol>\n<li>Put all ingredients, except for the chia seeds, into a blender and top with water.<\/li>\n<li>Blend until smooth.<\/li>\n<li>Add in the chia seeds, stir and then blend again for a few seconds.<\/li>\n<li>Serve immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We discovered it makes so much different adding the chia seeds at the end &#8211; otherwise they just get all clumpy and stick to your blender or the sides of your bowl. The chia seeds will eventually start &#8216;plumping&#8217; and releasing a gelatinous outer layer that will help slow down digestion which helps prevent sugar spikes in your system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GLUTEN-FREE | DAIRY-FREE | VEGAN Serves 2 Described as &#8216;delicious&#8217; by smoothie critic and writer, Tom Gash, we know we&#8217;re onto a winner with this recipe.
