A draining , diuretic and anti-inflammatory drink that we can prepare with fresh pineapple and that can be used to replace a meal if we have eaten too much or plan to do it at the next meal: it works splendidly in the second case, for example to purify after overdoing it. table , Sunday evening for dinner, or the next morning instead of breakfast. This draining drink in fact strengthens our digestive system , and allows us to more easily dispose of the swelling caused by food. Here is the recipe.

THE DRAINING PINEAPPLE DRINK
For one portion:
100 grams of fresh pineapple, including the central stem
100 ml of skim milk or coconut drink or coconut water
a handful of fresh mint leaves
a pinch of turmeric
half a teaspoon of Truvia (optional )
a small piece of fresh ginger (one centimeter) or a tip of a teaspoon of powdered ginger
a pinch of whole salt

Procedure: starting with the pineapple and mint, blend all the ingredients in order to have a smooth and homogeneous smoothie. If you want it fluffier, add 2-3 ice cubes. Calories: 77 with coconut water; 85 with skimmed or vegetable milk.

How to use the pineapple draining drink as a compensation meal: if we have exaggerated at the table or want to lose weight, combine the pineapple with a salad of valerian or songino with a teaspoon of olive oil plus a small box of natural tuna or a medium organic egg, or 100 grams of Greek yogurt or skimmed quark. In this way we will have an evening meal or lunch of only 185 calories. If, on the other hand, we want to drink it for breakfast, let’s combine it with 150/170 grams of skimmed Greek yogurt with a hint of cinnamon and Truvia. Same calories!
