Alkaline smoothie

An alkaline body is a happy body, and when the body is comfortable, the skin feels good. The Alkaline Smoothie contains foods that promote an alkaline intestinal system, which is anti-inflammatory and boosts your body with vitamins and minerals.

________

All skin types benefit from an alkaline smoothie – delicate, sensitive, reactive skin especially, including skin with eczema and other dermatologically challenged skin.

This recipe makes about ½ litre of smoothie

The fruit and vegetables used can be frozen or fresh
