Pineapple Ginger Smoothie

Move over, Hoover. The finest vacuum we know, capable of getting a whole load of nasty stuff out of your system in a jiffy, is none other than pineapple. It contains a host of enzymes, including bromelain, which helps dissolve the mucus buildup that’s so common with lung issues. It even aids in flushing fat from the body. (Liposuction in a glass. Who knew?) As for the taste, it pops like fireworks—or like the grand finale in this smoothie, due to the addition of ginger and mint. This great, refreshing smoothie is good for anyone, with just one caveat: If you have a sensitive mouth or throat issues, omit the ginger to avoid irritation. If you have a sensitive stomach, cut the amount of pineapple to two cups and add an additional banana.
