Green Alkalizing Smoothie

This is one of my favorite go-to smoothies!  It tastes bright and delicious!  Packing a nutritional punch with greens and digestive supporting ingredients, it’s a feel good source of deep nourishment.  If you decide to add the bonus ingredients of hemp seeds, MCT oil, and collagen you’ll have enough fat, fiber, and protein to use this as a full breakfast or intense workout recovery.

Your Benefits:

Greens – Full of chlorophyll, iron, magnesium, potassium & folate.

Pineapple – High in immune supporting vitamin C and bromelain, an enzyme necessary for protein digestion.

Ginger – High in gingerol an antioxidant with known anti-inflammatory properties.  (Bonus!  Ginger has been shown to help reduce exercise induced muscle soreness, support digestion. and reduce nausea.)

Parsley – High in vitamins A, C, and K.  Just two tablespoons of parsley delivers more than the daily recommended dose of vitamin K!  (Remember vitamin K supports bone and heart health and is essential for blood clotting.)

Apple – A great source of soluble fiber and vitamin C.

Cucumber – Another great source of vitamin K and antioxidants.

Celery – Yep, you guessed it!  Vitamin K and a little more than 1/2 the potassium of a banana.
