An Awesome Summer “Cool Aid”!

Some delicious recipes that find their way from the islands (Hawaiian) are just too good not to share. Here is one that we felt was in that category!




“Pineapple Ice” It's HOT! Cool down with a delicious treat that also aids digestion and so much more.


Made with fresh White Pineapple


Cut up a pineapple - if you have a vitamix blender you can include the core. When things are frozen, your taste buds freeze and everything becomes a bit bland so add some maple syrup, agave or your sweetener of choice and ice - blend and eat w/ a spoon or put in "pops" for a frozen treat anytime! You can sneak in some nutritious Chlorella and make a bright green tropical snack.


A simple and wonderful snack to share with loved ones by the pool, indoors, or by the tub!


Put this on your list of “I have to try this” items for your summer.


Pineapple is Loaded with Vitamins and Minerals



The obvious benefits of pineapple are all the vitamins and minerals the fruit is loaded with. Its nutrients include calcium, potassium, fiber, and vitamin C. In addition it is low in fat and cholesterol.


Pineapple Strengthens Bones


One of the benefits of pineapple is that it helps to build healthy bones. Pineapples are rich in manganese, a trace mineral that is needed for your body to build bone and connective tissues. Just one cup of pineapple provides 73% of the daily recommended amount of manganese. The benefits of pineapple can affect the growth of bones in young people and the strengthening of bones in older people.


Pineapple is Good for Colds and Coughs


While many people often take extra vitamin C or drink extra orange juice when they have a cold, few consider eating pineapple. The benefits of pineapple when you have a cold or cough are the same as the benefits of orange juice, but there is an additional benefit of pineapple. Bromelain, which is found in pineapples, has been found to help suppress coughs and loosen mucus.

And Healthy Too!!!
ENJOY!!!
