Sometimes the best thing to wake up to is a refreshing energizing juice that alkalines the body. The last few days have been heavy eating days and after an allergic reaction to an accidental dosage of milk, I decided I needed something light but fresh that will help flush out the body.
Watermelon is one of the most alkaline foods you can find, it has a PH of 7.5 and is hydrating for the body. It's low in fat and high in nutrition making it one of the best fruits for post workout treat.
Cucumbers are 95% water so it helps to hydrate the body as well as eliminate toxins. They are a good source of vitamin B, making it a quick pick-me-up.
Silverbeet provides a good dose of greens and offers benefits for blood sugar control, it's antioxidant rich and is a great source of calcium.
Coconut is one of my favourite foods in the world, it contains good fats, increases energy, boots the thyroid and the metabolism and packs a wallop in vitamins making it one of the best natural electrolyte sources.
Mint leaves promotes digestion, it helps soothes the stomach aiding in indigestion and inflammation. Also gives everything a fresh and light flavour.
Combined all together it's a powerhouse light start to the morning!
