Minty Alkaline Kiwi Green Smoothie
Posted on January 30 2019
This delicious, simple to make smoothie is alkaline, as the name would suggest, low carb, raw, vegan, dairy free and a great energy booster. Simply put, the Minty Alkaline Kiwi Green Smoothie is absolute health in a jam jar!!
Or a more civilised glass, if jam jars aren’t your jam. I feel you girl (or guy), jam jars aren’t for everyone.
We make a lot of smoothies in our house…In fact we have a smoothie every single morning for breakers, weekends included usually. And feel like we’re missing out when we, for some reason, can’t have our scrumptious fruity blend before our scrambled eggs and avo.
Try these smoothies that we love: 5 Minute Spinach Apple Green Smoothie, Glowing Skin Strawberry Lemon Smoothie, 10 Healthy Superfood Fruit Smoothie Recipes, Antioxidant Berry Blaze Smoothie, Berry Good Kale Green Smoothie, Chocolate Cinnamon Coconut Smoothie and Healthy Glow Pumpkin Smoothie.
I wake up every day and drink a warm mug of water with the juice of a whole lemon and a teaspoon of honey…So I am accustomed to a little zing in my life.
If you’re like me and you like sour drinks…YOU will LOVE this Minty Alkaline Kiwi Green Smoothie recipe just as it is – a little zingy, a little minty-fresh and not too sweet.
Green Smoothie PERFECTION!
If you’re of the variety that adores sweet smoothies, don’t stress (btw, I love sweet smoothies too!), you can always add less fresh lemon juice, or an extra banana, or a little more honey to suit your tastebuds.
I can assure you whatever your buds desire, this smoothie is for you because it’s just SOOOOO healthy, it’s a great energy booster and it’ll help to give your body the neutral PH balance that it so desperately needs to stay well.
It’s quick and easy to make, even if you’re a beginner at making smoothies – you can’t go wrong with this one.

It is said that in an alkaline environment, cancer cells cannot exist, along with a whole string of other diseases.
We’d intuitively consider a lemon to be acidic because it has a sour taste and the ability to erode our tooth enamel. But once it’s been metabolised by the body, lemon leaves the blood alkaline. The same goes for kiwi fruit.
I highly recommend this Top Rated Zulay Premium Quality Metal Lemon Lime Squeezer – Manual Citrus Press Juicer
