Dr. Mantena's Special - Pineapple Juice
Hello
friends, I am back with another seasonal fruit juice this time in Dr. Mantena’s
Kitchen. So, Today’s Dr. Mantena Special is a “Pineapple Juice.” This Ramadan
season pineapple is available everywhere in the market of Hyderabad. So, pick
up a ripe pineapple from the market and make this nutritionally rich health
drink.
Drinking
pineapple juice in the morning prevents sugar and fat cravings, thus good for
obesity people to maintain weight loss. Pineapple boosts immunity system
because of the presence of Vitamin C, A and selenium. It helps to cure constipation
and irregular bowel movements due to the presence of rich fiber in it. Drinking
pineapple juice also kills the intestinal worms. Regular intake of pineapple
juice will help in curing sore throat and bronchitis.
People
often prefer to drink juices in the market place out of laziness to make it. You
will get a juice full of ice or water in its absence. You can make a thick and
flavored pineapple juice at home by putting little effort. All you have to do
is my dear friends, pick up a pineapple from the market and put little effort
and I bet you don’t regret in making this healthy homemade juice with a little
twist of black pepper, honey and black salt that add spicy zing to its sweet
flavor. It takes hardly 10 minutes to make. So without wasting any time further
let us go into details of making it.
Ingredients:
Pineapple - 1 medium size
Honey - 2-4 tbs
Black
Pepper - ¼ tbs
Black
Salt - ½ tbs
Water - 1 glass
Servings: 4 glasses
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Procedure:
1.
Take a pineapple and remove its outer skin with a long knife as shown below.
2.
Then cut the pineapple into two halves and chop them into big chunks of each
half. If you chop them into smaller chunks then it will be difficult to grind
as they miss out the blade of the grinder.
3.
Pour chopped pieces into the jar of a mixer grinder and add honey, black
pepper, black salt and water in the quantity mentioned above in the ingredients
and make a smooth puree.
4.
After grinding those into a smooth puree strain them into a vessel or jar as
shown in the picture below.
5.
After straining the juice serve them into your glass and enjoy.
You
will find this juice very tasty as the black pepper and black salt give great
spicy zing to its flavor. Salt and pepper are against the teachings of Dr.
Mantena Satyanarayana Raju and I very well understand this. In spite of the
fact I recommend them because both of them have medicinal values that are good
for health especially in this rainy season. If you are making a pineapple juice
on regular basis I recommend excluding these two ingredients from the juice.
The taste still remains good.
Since
this juice is prepared keeping the rainy season in mind where you need more
minerals, vitamins and enzymes for your body, include black salt and pepper in
it.
I
hope you will make and enjoy this wonderful nutritional drink. Keep watching
the space for more updates.
