Alkaline smoothie bowls have been a life changing event in my morning routine. I’m feeling so much more energetic throughout the entire day after eating a much cleaner diet and actively working to alkalize my body.
You may have heard some buzz about an alkaline diet. I know I surely did. But it was so easy to associate it with other buzz diets, so I tossed it aside. A health concern lead me to researching an alkaline diet. Working with a lifelong skin condition, I’ve found research that says it can’t live in an alkaline environment. That was the catalyst that lead me to the foods that have caused me to feel so much brighter, lighter, have a better attitude daily. It’s amazing how much food has an impact on mood.
This morning’s bowl features kiwi, one of the highest ranking alkaline foods. Bananas are also high on the list. Hemp seeds and pineapple both help the body to alkalize. Some say pineapple is acidic but once it metabolizes in the body it alkalizes.
Banana (1-2)
Kiwi (1)
Hemp seeds (1-2 tablespoons)
Pineapple (1/2 cup)
Mixed berries (1/4-1/2 cup)
These measurements are estimates. I always do estimates. I use what I have in my fridge and what feels right for the day. If I feel I need more fats, then more hempseeds. If I’m craving banana then more banana. This one is rather sweet. Cucumber, or spinach would be a great addition for a more balanced and even more nutritious smoothie bowl. Also get creative. Throw whatever ingredients in or on top that your intuitive self desires.
