Anti-Inflammatory Juice Recipe with Ginger

This juice is a powerhouse of nutrition and flavor!

It’s crafted from a blend of cucumbers, spinach, celery, turmeric, ginger, pineapple, black pepper, and lemon. Each of these ingredients offers unique health benefits, like fighting chronic inflammation and acute inflammation, which is the body’s way of reacting to injuries or chronic diseases like heart disease and cardiovascular disease.

Besides these benefits, some of the natural ingredients, particularly ginger and pineapple, may also support better digestion.

So, by sipping on this juice, you’re not only enjoying a refreshing drink but also boosting your body’s immune response.

Cucumber

Cucumbers are hydrating due to their high water content and contain antioxidants, including flavonoids and tannins, that help reduce inflammation.

Their cooling effect can also soothe the body to help reduce inflammatory responses. I also like to make my Cucumber Juice or Cucumber Pineapple Juice recipes.

Spinach

Spinach is one of the most common leafy greens. It is rich in vitamins, minerals, and potent phytonutrients. I like to use baby spinach in this recipe. See my related recipe for Spinach Juice.

Among these are kaempferol, a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to decrease the effects of inflammatory agents in the body.

Celery

Celery is a great source of both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds.

It contains apigenin, a molecule that promotes the repair of DNA and can inhibit the pathways that cause inflammation in cells. Try to use organic celery from your local grocery store or farmers’ market.

Turmeric Root

Turmeric contains curcumin, a chemical compound known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties. I use it in my Turmeric Wellness Shot.

Curcumin has been studied extensively and is often compared to anti-inflammatory drugs in its ability to reduce inflammation.

Ginger Root

Ginger has been used traditionally for its medicinal properties, including its ability to combat inflammation. I try to use it as often as I can. Check out my Ginger Shot recipe for another easy way to use this ingredient.

It contains gingerol, a bioactive substance that has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Pineapple Chunks

Pineapples are rich in bromelain, an enzyme found in the fruit’s core and stem, which has been shown to reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain.

Additionally, pineapples have a host of vitamins and minerals that support overall health and can contribute to reduced inflammatory responses. Try it in this juice or in this Pineapple Cucumber Smoothie!

Black Pepper

Black pepper contains piperine, which not only provides its spicy flavor but also increases the absorption of curcumin from turmeric in the digestive system.

By doing so, it can enhance the anti-inflammatory effects of turmeric.

Lemon

Lemons are high in vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that helps combat free-radical damage in the body, reducing inflammation.

Additionally, the bioflavonoids in lemons can also act as natural anti-inflammatories. Feel free to use the lemon juice and a bit of the lemon peel as well.

Apple

I love including a green apple in my vegetable juices. It adds a little bit of sweetness without too much natural sugar.

Try to use a green apple; see my list of the best apple for juicing for more info.

Prep your ingredients using a sharp knife. If you’re using a fresh pineapple, be sure to cut off all the pineapple peels.

Add chopped ingredients to the jar of a high-speed blender. You can also use a food processor or juicer.

Please see the recipe card at the end of this post for the exact ingredients and measurements.

Step Two

Blend on high until smooth with a little water. Or, juice all the ingredients, alternative the hard and soft textures to yield the most liquid.

For instance, the celery is considered a hard texture and the green apple and cucumber are considered softer textures.

Step Three

If using a blender or food processor, you will want to strain the juice in a nut milk bag or cheesecloth.

Step Four

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade anti-inflammatory juice.

I hope that you agree that this delicious juice is a great way to fight inflammation the natural way. It’s one of the best juices I’ve ever made with a very delicious flavor.
