<\/p>\n

\n An alkaline diet is a diet that is packed with nutrient-dense foods. One of the foundations of the alkaline diet are green drinks.\n <\/p>\n

\n A green drink is a blended beverage made from fruits and vegetables.\n <\/p>\n

\n You can throw your produce drawer in the blender and see what happens. However, it\u2019s often better if you embrace green drink recipes.\n <\/p>\n

\n Here are a few Green Drinks to consider:

\n <\/br>\n<\/p>\n

\n Throw everything into your blender and blend until it\u2019s smooth. Drink and enjoy.\n <\/p>\n

\n <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n
\n * 2-3 large kale leaves
\n
\n * 1 cup dandelion greens

\n
\n * 1 tbsp. grated ginger
\n
\n * 1\/2 cup pea sprouts

\n * 1 cup cilantro
\n
\n * 2 apples, peeled and cored\n <\/p>\n

\n Throw everything into your blender and blend until it\u2019s smooth. Drink and enjoy.\n <\/p>\n

\n Each of these green drink recipes is easy to adapt to your own personal preferences. You can add herbs and juices depending on your tastes.\n <\/p>\n

\n Some things to remember when making green drinks:
\n <\/h3>\n

\n
\n # Organic is best
\n <\/strong>
\n \u2013 Whenever possible, organic produce is best. This is particularly important for apples, berries, and lettuces.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n # Wash them well
\n <\/strong>
\n \u2013 Wash all of your produce thoroughly. Make sure that your digestive system stays healthy by keeping bacteria and contaminants out.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n # Blend instead of juice
\n <\/strong>
\n \u2013 You might notice that a blender was used for these recipes instead of a juicer. This is important. When you juice, all of the fiber and many of the nutrients are removed. Blending keeps all of the fiber in your beverage.\n <\/p>\n

\n There\u2019s tremendous benefits for blending and retaining the fiber. It is healthy for your digestive system and the prebiotics help ensure optimal health.\n <\/p>\n

\n Finally, be aware of stevia. Some green drink recipes (like the first one above) include stevia which is a natural sweetener. If you have an allergy to ragweed or goldenrod, then you are likely also allergic to stevia because they\u2019re from the same plant family.\n <\/p>\n

\n Symptoms of a stevia allergy include headaches, congestion, and digestive distress. If you are allergic to stevia, consider sweetening with apples instead.\n <\/p>\n

\n Start your day with a green drink or have one when you begin feeling low on energy. You\u2019ll notice a difference in your energy, vitality and in your mental clarity. You\u2019ll also lose weight and look great.\n <\/p>\n
