A Green Smoothie Adventure

Hello, I am deeply passionate about making your body alkaline. Our diets are very acidic and this then becomes the breeding ground for disease and so I want to share with you today my alkaline smoothies that are going to make your body more alkaline and less susceptible to disease. So are you staying tuned? What are we going to do first? Well first of all you need an appliance. Now the appliance that most people use are the Vitamix or here we've got the Thermomix or the Nutribullet. Okay I've tried all those and I've got the Thermomix and they're amazing but they're a bit cumbersome. Okay you have to take them out of the cupboard to put them on the shelf and our lives are very pressured and trying to give you a solution that's going to keep you making the smoothies and not looking for excuses. So what we're going to be using is the hand blender. Very simple, very easy to clean and quick and efficient as you will see. Then what we need is some water. We add our water and I like to use filtered water because filtered water doesn't have the chlorine and the fluoride in it. I actually use reverse osmosis water and that we'll get into in another tutorial. So what will be the next thing we do? I love to add spinach. I'm crazy about spinach because it is high in vitamin A. As you can see it's rich in the green color and vitamin A is very important for the health of the DNA of every cell in your body. So please ladies you need to be adding vitamin A to your smoothies. Now the next thing we're going to be adding is cucumber. Now cucumber is very high in water content and we all need to be adding more water to our diets. It also lowers your blood sugar. Please also leave the green on, leave the rind on, don't peel it off. Add your rind. Now the next thing we're going to be adding is celery. Now I'm crazy about celery and I love you to add the leaves as well, not just the stalks. You must get in there with your leaves and add your leaves as well because very high in fiber, very high in water content but this one is also alkalines the blood. So celery to your diet, to your salads, to your smoothies and it's also high in antioxidants. Now what are we going to add? Apple. Now that old wise saying an apple a day keeps the doctor away because it has cancer fighting properties. Did you know that? High in fiber. It's also very good for reducing your risk of diabetes, of heart disease and it's very good for your gut and brain health. Yes you live and learn. So add some apples to your smoothie, to your diet. Now we're talking about the ingredient that you should be adding to everything. You should be adding it to your salads, to your smoothie, your stir fries and that's ginger. Now ginger has magical properties. You want to be adding ginger to everything you eat. Not only is it good for gut health and bloatedness but it's also cancer fighting. So we need to be getting our ginger in and actually peel off the outside. What ginger also does is anti-inflammatory, high in antioxidants, lowers your blood sugar and your cholesterol. A really important ingredient to be adding to everything you're eating and drinking because we're going to be drinking a smoothie. Now we're going to add some hemp seeds. Hemp seeds are a great source of protein and we all need protein in our diets. So I'm quite liberal with the hemp seeds. In they go. They're also very rich in omega-3, so the good fat. Also very good for your brain health, your heart health and your skin health and it has anti-inflammatory properties. So hemp seeds to your diets ladies. There's a bit of spinach. Right now we're going to blend. Will be a bit noisy, sorry. Now the reason why we use the stick blender is because it's so easy to clean. So we just rinse it under the tap. It's ready for tomorrow and here we have our beautiful green smoothie and we're going to do the taste test. So here we go. Look how beautiful that looks. Yes you can all do this at home. Now you have no excuses. So there we are. Let's taste. Yes I just love the ginger in it. Gives it such a sharp taste. You can just feel like it's cleansing your system and then of course you've got the apple which gives it a bit of sweetness. Very delicious.
