The health benefits of raw pineapple include:
• Pineapples contain bromelain - a powerful digestive enzyme that can destroy bad bacteria and parasites. They help digest protein, and may prevent the formation of blood clots.
• A natural anti-inflammatory bromelain reduces swelling and inflammation in the body. Beneficial for arthritis suffers, and to promote healing after injury.
• An excellent source of the natural antioxidant vitamin C, pineapples help fight off colds, and the bromelain loosens mucus, helps cure coughs, and fight throat infections.
• Pineapples are good for your bones. They are a good source of manganese, a mineral required for healthy bones.
• Raw pineapple juice is a cure for nausea, and may be useful during pregnancy.
• Eating pineapple is a cure for constipation.

Almond Milk

soak unpasteurized almonds approx. 4 hours in filtered water (none grown in USA by FDA law--I order mine online at www.livingnutz.com)

dates (I soak these at the same time/same water as the almonds)

rinse and drain--you MUST, MUST, MUST take the pits out of the dates or they will ruin your blender

put almonds and pitted dates in blender, start slow add water slowly

using a hemp bag (or if you have cheesecloth it works too)--"milk" out the liquid
the left over fiber from the nuts can be used later in raw dessert recipes

add a pinch of coarse sea salt

enjoy!
