Gut Friendly Classic Pineapple Agua Fresca
Few drinks are as refreshing or as easy to pull together as a well-made agua fresca, and this pineapple version is genuinely hard to put down. Fresh pineapple brings natural enzymes and a bright, tropical sweetness that pairs beautifully with a squeeze of lime and just a pinch of salt to round everything out. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a silky, smooth drink that's gentle on the digestive system — no heavy additives, no artificial sweeteners, and no mystery ingredients hiding on a label. The whole thing comes together in minutes and keeps well in the fridge, making it an easy go-to when you want something hydrating and feel-good. Served over ice with a sprig of fresh mint, it looks as good as it tastes — the kind of drink that makes a regular Tuesday feel a little more like a vacation.
