A delicious cold pressed juice with soothing ingredients like ginger, mint, and pineapple.
When R's recent IBD flare-up hit, we started worrying he wasn't getting enough nutrients. Even though we already eat a pretty high-fiber vegan diet, too much fiber during a flare can be uncomfortable, especially when your gut needs a break.
Fiber is incredibly important (and often missing from the Standard American Diet), but when your gut's having a rough time, less can actually be more. That's where juicing can really help.
We recently invested in a juicer to support R during his flare-up. It's not a kitchen gadget everyone needs, but when you're not feeling your best, it can be a game changer in helping you stay nourished without overloading your system.
This pineapple, spinach, and mint juice is bright, refreshing, and gentle on the gut. It's a quick way to sneak in vitamins, hydrate, and hopefully, feel a little more like yourself again.
