Want to get alkaline fast?
This quick, hands-on guide will get you an overnight overhaul of your alkalinity, boost your energy and have you feeling noticeably stronger, more vital and more energetic in 24 hours or less!
When you buffer the acids already in your system your body will thank you for it. And by hitting multiple sources of alkalinity at once you’re going to get some pretty big alkalinity in a short space of time. You’re going to feel great.
Here’s how it’s done – aim for as many as you can!
Alkaline Booster 1: The Right Breakfast
Breakfast is the most acidic meal for the vast majority of the western world. Bread, jam, cereal, milk, coffee, pastry, bacon, eggs, pancakes, waffles, orange juice, tea…all acidic and all covering probably 85% of the breakfast plates and bowls across the Western world.
If you want to feel the benefits of an alkaline body (and an alkaline day) you HAVE to start the day right. So before we get into some simple options, I want to make sure you start every day with a big glass of water, preferably alkaline water or lemon water! This will replenish and rehydrate your cells and get you moving again after the fast your body has been through while you were sleeping.
For this 24 hour alkaline boost here are three options:
Option One (easiest): ‘Alkaline’ Oats!
This is organic oats, cooked in water with a little nut milk (almond, soy, coconut) added at the end. To make it more alkaline you can mix in some chia seeds, and sprinkle a little psyllium husks on at the end.
This will give you a fibre-rich, protein-rich start to the day that is low on the acid-forming side and full of nutrients that will keep you going for hours.
Personally, if I go this route I’ll try to add some greens afterwards, whether that’s a juice or some avocado on sprouted bread as per….
Option Two: Avocado, Tomato, Spinach on Sprouted Bread (or crackers)
This is a super easy, filling and more alkaline option. Simply toast some sprouted bread (or find some healthy, gluten free crackers) and spread on some avocado, add sliced tomato, spinach, olive or flax oil and some Himalayan salt.
Delicious, easy and alkaline.
Plus, toasting the sprouted bread (which is a bread made from sprouted grains so it is alkaline and gluten free – you can find it in health food stores, most major grocery stores and online – in the USA at Alvarado St Bakery (who deliver) and in the UK at Goodness Direct) makes it warm and satisfying. Mmmmmmmm.
Option Three (harder): A Big Alkaline Green Juice or Smoothie!
This is incredibly alkaline, incredibly nutrient-dense and delicious!
Here is a recipe for the core alkaline green smoothie & the core alkaline green drink.
Remember, don’t overthink or make things too hard – simply avoiding sugar, yeast, dairy, animal protein and caffeine at breakfast will be great for your body!
Oh, and the hydration of course
