Question: On Monday I stated drinking a smoothie for breakfast which contained a cup of blueberries. I've had it every day this week. Today I noticed that the last four times I urinated my pee came out pink. should I be concerned? I feel fine. No ailments except for a calf that I injured doing cross fit.

Brief Answer:
Probably due to blueberries, do not worry about it .

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I read carefully your question and understand your concern.

If you have eaten blueberries or blueberries smothie than it is normal for urine to be pink.It is a very common symptom in this case.
I think you should not worry about it and it is not necessary to see your doctor.
The urine will get normal color in a few days.
If it continues for a long time I suggest you to do an urinalysis to confirm the cause.

Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have any other questions feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
