If you live anywhere that’s been cold lately, wouldn’t you love to be in Hawaii right about now? I know for those of us on the East coast, a tropical day is sounding perfect as winter wears on.
While this smoothie won’t magically transport you to a tropical paradise, it’s the next best thing. It has ginger, grapefruit, and coconut flavors, plus 3 different alkaline veggies.
If you ever get tired of the same tropical smoothies, this is a delicious and nutritious way to mix it up a bit.
So give it a try and let me know what you think over on Facebook.
Alkaline breakfast foods include fruits, nuts and vegetables. Fresh-pressed green juice and a handful of raw almonds or chia seed pudding made with almond milk and fresh fruit are good options.

Chia seeds are an alkaline food – protecting you from disease. Help to raise 'good' HDL cholesterol. They keep hunger and cravings away – keeping you feeling fuller, longer.
Interestingly, even though lemons, limes, and tomatoes are all high-acid fruits, they actually help to make your body more alkaline. So even a cup of warm water with a squeeze of lemon first thing in the morning is an easy but effective way to manage your pH levels.
Researchers often refer to the umeboshi as 'the king of alkaline foods' for its alkalizing and invigorating qualities. The organic acids of umeboshi help remove lactic and pyruvic acid from our blood that accumulate from taking refined sugar, refined grain, overly processed foods, alcohol, and red meat.
Most fruits and vegetables, soybean, tofu, and some nuts, seeds, and legumes are alkaline-promoting foods, so they're fair game. Dairy, eggs, meat, most grains, and processed foods like canned and packaged snacks and convenience foods fall on the acidic side and are not allowed.
There's no fast way to alkalize your body, nor is there conclusive evidence that this is necessary. Your body's pH levels are tightly controlled, and food doesn't affect blood pH very much. It may have some impact on urine pH.
Somewhat counterintuitively, although honey has a low pH score and contains multiple acids as we've discussed here, it is actually alkaline-forming once ingested, meaning that it doesn't contribute to an acidic environment in the body.

Oatmeal is another alkaline food. Oatmeal may absorb some stomach acid to further neutralize the stomach. Additionally, oatmeal is a high-fiber food that promotes optimal digestive health. Brown rice is another alkaline whole grain.
