Here are my top 10 most refreshing nonalcoholic pineapple summer drinks worth trying this year! If you love pineapples, you are going to love these pineapple summer drinks. These drinks are easy to make and they taste amazing so get out your utensils and let’s get juicing.
Pineapples are packed with tons of health benefits which we’ll get into below. They are sweet enough without added sweeteners and are one of my favorite spring-summer fruits. I’ve chosen mostly healthy pineapple drinks that are low in calories so you won’t have to worry about gaining weight.
Benefits Of Pineapple Drinks
Pineapples contain a group of digestive enzymes called bromelain which has many benefits. First, it helps the body break down proteins into amino acids which are then absorbed and used by our cells to build other proteins.
Second, it reduces inflammation, swelling, pain, bruises, sprains, strains, muscle injury and helps the body heal faster after surgery.
Now although bromelain is mostly found in pineapple stem, there is still a good amount of this enzyme in the skin and flesh as well.
Refreshing Nonalcoholic Pineapple Summer Drinks
1. Pineapple Mango Smoothie
This is my favorite pineapple smoothie recipe, it does not require a lot of ingredients and I make it all the time to help with my RA symptoms. It takes only 5 minutes to make by throwing together some mangos, pineapples, coconut milk, turmeric, and ice. Plus, it’s only 200 calories.
2. Pineapple Papaya Smoothie
Here is another one of my very own pineapple papaya smoothie recipes I highly recommend you try. This smoothie not only tastes great but helps reduce oxidative stress and inflammation (key weight gain factors). You also don’t need a ton of ingredients for this recipe and it’s low in calories too.
3. Pineapple Tea
No, it’s not hot tea in the summer! Simply add some ice to this pineapple tea recipe and you have yourself a very healthy, anti-inflammatory summer drink! The tea is made by boiling pineapple peel and core because that’s where a good amount of bromelain is found.
4. Pineapple Lemonade
I tried this pineapple lemonade the other day and it was delicious! It only has 3 ingredients. The only thing I changed was the Sprite, I got diet (I know, no real difference there) but it made me feel like I wasn’t cheating my diet. Worth a try though.
5. Pineapple Peach Agua Fresca
