This alkaline smoothie is designed to keep you energized and balanced throughout the day. Packed with nutrient-dense ingredients like avocado, spinach, and almonds, it not only boosts your energy levels but also promotes an alkaline environment in your body. Perfect for breakfast or as a midday pick-me-up, this smoothie is as delicious as it is nutritious.
Instructions:
- Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out half of the avocado flesh and set aside.
- Rinse the spinach and watercress thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Measure out the almonds, coconut oil, chia seeds, and almond butter.
- Add the spinach and watercress into the blender first. This helps to ensure that the leafy greens blend smoothly.
- Add the almonds to the blender. Almonds provide a nice texture and add protein to your smoothie.
- Add the half avocado, coconut oil, and almond butter to the blender. These ingredients add a creamy texture and healthy fats to your smoothie.
- Pour in the almond milk and water. These will help blend all the ingredients together smoothly.
6. Add Chia Seeds:
- Sprinkle in the chia seeds. Chia seeds are a great source of fiber and help keep you full and energized.
- Secure the blender lid tightly. Start blending on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more water to reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the blended smoothie into your favorite glass or cup. You can garnish with a sprinkle of extra chia seeds, a few sliced almonds, or a small piece of avocado if desired.
- Drink immediately to enjoy the fresh, energizing flavors and to get the maximum nutritional benefits.
Tips:
- Ensure the avocado is ripe for a smoother consistency.
- Soak the almonds overnight for easier blending and improved digestibility.
- Adjust the amount of water to achieve your preferred consistency.
- Use fresh spinach and watercress for a more vibrant and flavorful smoothie.
- For an extra protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
- You can substitute coconut oil with MCT oil for added energy benefits.
Enjoy your alkaline smoothie! This nutritious blend is sure to keep you fueled and balanced for hours. Feel free to modify the ingredients to suit your personal taste and dietary needs. Cheers to a healthy and energetic day!
