Well good nutrition can make a difference in your mood and how you feel.

Here is a delicious smoothie with protein, healthy fat and some good carbs.

There are some great nutrients in blueberries, some of which scientists have not even figured out what they do yet, so just eat the blueberries! Or put them in your smoothie.

Blueberry Almond Flax Smoothie Recipe Ingredients

• Blueberries
• Almond butter
• Almond milk
• Banana
• I would use actual flax seeds instead of flax oil. It goes rancid quickly, plus the seeds are high in fiber.
• Protein powder

This smoothie is delicious and makes a great breakfast or mid morning pick me up snack. It takes just a couple minutes to throw this together. Get out your blender and smoothie up!

Almonds and banana are on the alkaline side of the chart, so the almond milk and almond butter can help your alkaline diet.

Make one of these today and let us know how you liked it!

And the juice was delicious and very alkaline.

Gluten free raisin, nut pancakes.

Raisins fall on the alkaline side of the alkaline diet chart, although some of the other ingredients in this recipe do not.

So if you have these pancakes for breakfast, be sure to have a nice big salad as part of your lunch to balance out.

Ingredient list for Gluten – Free, Raisin, Nut Pancakes

• Gluten free, all purpose baking flour, or some other type of gluten free flour, such as buckwheat or rice. ( buckwheat flour does not contain “wheat” even though it has wheat in the name. Beware of buckwheat pancake mixes though, that have buckwheat flour and wheat flour)
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil, or other oil
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• Trail mix that contains raisins and small nuts and seeds, such as pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds
• Add water, until you get a nice pancake consistency. Add the water slowly, being careful not to add too much. If you get too much water, your only choice is to add more flour. The mix should be nice and thick.

Pan should be on low heat. butter the pan or use coconut oil if you avoiding dairy, as well as wheat.

Cook for several minutes on each side.

Serve with eggs and or peanut butter. Almond butter is even better because almonds are on the alkaline side of the chart.

The Acia berry jam is easy to make and healthier than anything you are going to find in a conventional grocery store.

The combination of chia seeds and Acia berry, make this a double pronged superfood.

The Acai berry jam is a nutritional powerhouse. Chia seeds are an excellent source of healthy essential fatty acids, similar to flax seeds. They also contain antioxidants, which helps keep the fat more stable. Flax seed oil can go rancid quickly.

Chia seeds bulk up a lot when you add liquid, so they are great for making gels.

Here is the ingredient list for superfood Acai berry jam.

• 2 Tablespoons of Chia seeds
• 1/2 cup fresh pressed apple juice
• 2 Tablespoons of raw, freeze dried Acai powder
• 2 Tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 Tablespoon fresh pressed lemon juice

Healthy Breakfast

Get some sprouted grain bread, or rice bread if you are allergic to wheat.

Spread with some virgin coconut oil, then top with the Acai berry jam.

Nuts are great natural foods, a rich source of healthy fats and protein.

They are also typically low glycemic foods.

Stop to think for a moment how nuts are actually eaten in a truly natural environment.

Nuts are picked off the tree, then you have to crack the shell open. So you end up with just one nut in your mouth at a time.

So try it for fun, eat one nut at a time and chew until you get the consistency of nut butter, like almond butter of peanut butter. Your digestive system will thank you.

From an alkaline standpoint almonds are best. That doesn’t mean you should avoid other nuts. Just keep the diet balanced with up to 80% alkaline foods overall.

Here is another tip, nuts are most nutritious when eaten raw. You can search this site for other benefits of eating raw foods.

Nuts like almonds and fruit make a good alkaline breakfast.

For those who are into proper food combining, eat the fruit first and give it a few minutes before eating the nuts.

Why not start your day out with a good dose of vitamins, minerals, healthy fats and protein?

Some of my favorite nutritious nuts and seeds:

• Almonds (best alkaline)
• Cashews
• Walnuts (acidic, go easy)
• Pumpkin seeds
• Sunflower seeds
• Brazil nuts

For a great alkaline tea, that helps with weight loss and detoxification, check out Iaso tea. I drink it myself.

I wanted to talk to you about the difference between an alkalizing breakfast and an acidifying breakfast.

Now, let’s just take a look at the typical American acidifying breakfast which typically includes something like coffee, or people even drink soda. Follow that with something containing refined white flour and sugar like doughnuts,  sweetened cereal, bagels, muffins, and all that kind of stuff.

Even  whole grains, are  still on the acid side of the chart

It may be less acidifying, sure. Whole grains are better than the refined white variety which is very acidifying, but it is still all on the acid side of the chart. And a lot of times people consume refined oils along with these products and they end up with something that is really not very healthy at all.

Now in contrast, an alkalizing breakfast would be something like green or white tea. You can still get caffeine. Have a couple extra cups of green and white tea. It is better than a cup of coffee. Even better yet, blend your green tea with some herbal tea.

Don’t Take Away My Coffee!

Now, some people, we get this question a lot, “Can I have a cup of coffee? I can’t live without a cup of coffee. Can I still maintain alkaline balance and have a cup of coffee?”

I like to have a cup of coffee myself every now and then. So what do I do? I put a little bit, about a quarter to a half a scoop, of Sea Calcium and I take a Magnesium tablet and I break it open, and I sprinkle about a third into that coffee and stir it up. It actually turns a little bit lighter color of brown, and I have actually gotten buffering minerals in my coffee now, so it is not quite as harmful from a PH balancing acidic point of view when I consume it.

Here is another tip. Brew up some herbal tea, like Dr Miller’s Iaso Tea – known to be alkalizing, and blend it 50-50 with your coffee. You still have a hot beverage that tastes good. It gives you the caffeine that many of us depend on for energy, without quite so much acid effect.

You could even do both, tea blend and mineral addition. This will decrease the acidic effect significantly.

A Better Alkaline Breakfast

I am going to have right along with it a vegetable blender smoothie, which is very alkalizing. I will probably have maybe some whey protein in there so I am getting some protein, some fish oil so I am getting protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, all the essentials of a good healthy diet that is very alkalizing.

Meat is OK – Organic is Best

I might even have a little bit of meat. If I do, it is a small piece, and it is clean. It is maybe organic or at least free range and doesn’t have hormones or antibiotics and all that kind of stuff in it. Or a little bit of healthy fish is also OK. And as an alternative, maybe a salad instead of the vegetable blender smoothie. All these and you will end up with a much better alkalizing breakfast solution.
