Description
A refreshing Brazilian-inspired juice designed to boost metabolism with pineapple, ginger, mint, and coconut water — perfect for those on Mounjaro or Zepbound.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- ½ cucumber, peeled and sliced
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled
- Juice of 1 lime
- 5 fresh mint leaves
- 1 ½ cups coconut water (unsweetened)
- Optional: a pinch of cayenne pepper or turmeric
- Ice cubes, for serving
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth.
- Strain through a fine mesh sieve if a lighter texture is preferred (optional).
- Taste and adjust — more lime for brightness, mint for freshness, or ginger for warmth.

Notes
The aroma is pure sunshine — citrusy, herbal, and gently spicy. Each sip feels both refreshing and restorative, like a reset button for your metabolism.
For People with Diabetes: Swap added sweetness with stevia, monk fruit, erythritol, or allulose. Avoid honey or maple syrup to maintain gentle insulin balance supportive of Zepbound or Mounjaro effectiveness.
