If you can get past the cheesy introduction & questionable choice of music, this video has a lot of fantastic information!
I recently discovered The Alkaline Sisters blog & instantly feel in love with both the gorgeous photos & the clean healthy recipes. Reading their thoughtful posts & viewing their delectable creations inspires me to eat better, hone in my photography skills & be more creative in the kitchen.
With so many things going on in my life right now, & with some of them having variables that are beyond my control, I’ve been yearning for control over just one thing. Something that I can take immediate control of is my health & wellbeing - through a clean healthy diet & daily yoga/exercise. Working with children exposes me to a plethora of viruses & aliments. I know that my immune system is being overloaded on a daily basis & I need to keep it strong.
I usually start my day with some sort of green smoothie variation. Typically it’s a blend of coconut water, kale, spinach, frozen mango, banana, flax & chia seeds. Sounds pretty good right? Yes, but from what I learned in the above video I can make it better, as Alkaline Sisters outline the basics of a well balanced green smoothie. I am going to try swapping out my mango for pear, & my banana for avocado, & add some ginger & herbs to my morning ritual.
Here are two of their green smoothie recipes that I will be definitely adding to my repertoire: Green Smoothie Recipe & Alkaline Green Smoothie
I also love this Green Machine Smoothie from Cookie & Kate. I made it this morning, using coconut water instead of orange juice. Good stuff! I feel cleaner & greener already!
A votre santé!
