Not to be dramatic. It really did change my life cause let’s be real girl, I was struggling.

Bloating. Constipation. And let’s not even talk about my skin—dull, textured, and full of those little breakouts that just wouldn’t go away no matter what cleanser or serum I tried.

I felt puffy all the time and no matter how many “glowing skin” skincare products I used, nothing seemed to work.

And then it hit me—what if the problem wasn’t what I was putting on my skin, but what I was putting in my body?

That was the beginning of my glow-up. 

And babe, let me tell you—it all started with a blender and this life-changing green juice recipe.

I Tried This Green Juice Recipe For Gut Detox At First

I had heard that your gut health plays a major role in how your skin looks, but I didn’t take it seriously until my bloating and breakouts showed up together like toxic besties.

Bloating and constipation were my body waving a red flag. And when I finally paid attention and cleaned up my diet, my skin started clearing up too.

As someone who now proudly calls herself a food geek, I love understanding what I eat and why it matters. 

Once I started looking into foods that support gut health, reduce inflammation, and promote glowing skin, things started to click.

I created this super easy, glow-boosting green juice recipe using ingredients I already had in my kitchen—pineapple, cucumber, spinach, and lemon. 

Simple, fresh, and powerful.

And the best part? It actually worked. 

This green juice recipe is my latest obsession and now my go-to morning ritual, and my skin has never looked better.

Within a week, my bloating was way down, I was going to the bathroom regularly (yes, we’re talking about it), and my skin? Clearer. Brighter. Happier.

Let’s break down the benefits before I give you the full recipe.

What’s Inside This Green Juice Recipe (And Why Your Skin Will Love It)

This juice isn’t just pretty and green—it’s a whole glow-up in a glass. Here’s the benefits of this green juice recipe, read if you want to know what each ingredient does for your skin and body.

1. Pineapple – The Tropical Skin Brightener

• For your skin: High in Vitamin C to boost collagen, brighten complexion, and fade dark spots.
• For your body: Contains bromelain, a natural enzyme that supports digestion, reduces bloating, and lowers inflammation. 

2. Cucumber – The Hydration Hero

• For your skin: Loaded with silica to improve skin texture and elasticity. Hydration = glow.
• For your body: Helps flush out toxins and keeps your digestive system moving gently.

3. Spinach – The Green Detoxifier

• For your skin: Full of Vitamin A which reduces sebum production (great for acne), folate, and chlorophyll, which purifies the blood and gives that clean glow. You can bet that spinach is part of the anti-acne diet.
• For your body: Supports liver detoxification and balances hormones—two major keys to clear skin.

4. Lemon – The Zesty Detox Queen

• For your skin: High in Vitamin C to lighten dark spots and improve skin tone.
• For your body: Helps alkalize your system, boosts digestion, and supports liver function.

5. Ginger – The Glow-Up Root

• For your skin: Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, which helps calm redness and breakouts.
• For your body: Improves digestion, boosts circulation, and gives that warm, spicy kick that wakes you up from the inside out. Read more here on the benefits of ginger.
