Over the last few years I have begun to
create green smoothies from scratch. These

help to keep a beneficial level of alkalinity
in the body for gut health and digestion.

The basic recipe for my Alkagizer smoothie
is to place the following washed and loosely
chopped organic ingredients into my

Vitamix® blender:
A huge handful of spinach

Two large stalks of celery
One large cucumber
The flesh of a ripe avocado

32 oz of pure Coconut water
Juice of a Lemon

I then cover and wiz the ingredients on high

for a minute until everything is smooth and
enjoy it. This is great when I am serving a

friend half of this amount, but it is a lot for
one person to consume. Sometimes I cut
this recipe in half and store half of the used

avocado with its seed in place to become a
part of the next day’s drink. This keeps the

leftover half of the avocado nice and fresh.
You can of course add herbs, sprouts, or any
other green vegetable to the mix. I urge you

to be creative.

Occasionally I create a large batch of
this smoothie later in the day and get
away with stashing half in the fridge

for the next morning. This never seems
to taste as good as the fresh batch but

sometimes you just need to have some
pre-prepped food on hand.
