ALKALINE POWER GREEN SOUP

One of the fastest to alkalize your body is by loading up on greens. An alkaline body is resistant to all kinds of illness from common colds to cancer. The big C can only thrive and grow and in an acidic body which is created by over consumption of meats, toxic and processed foods.  While the amount of greens required to bring a body back to alkaline state may be hard to consume in plain form, soups and juices allow for more intake and digestion when blended. I love soups and can have them everyday even in the heat of summer. Soups are one of the best ways to enrich your diet and bring your body to an alkaline healthy state. This particular soup is not only highly alkaline but also rich in protein, calcium and antioxidants.

Enjoy 🌱🍃

MEAT FREE MONDAY

For those that can't adopt a full vegetarian diet yet, even one day a week of giving up meat can make a world of difference not only for your health and overall wellbeing but also dramatically reducing your carbon footprint, save animals and reduce world hunger. 🌿

For a couple of decades I struggled with being a vegetarian back to eating fish or chicken because I wasn't eating properly and my health and energy struggled. I finally decided that I would study nutrition to understand what my body needed exactly in order to thrive while living sustainably and heeding the call of being a conscious human being. We've never been taught how to eat a healthy balanced vegetarian meal. The USRDA which has a vested interest in factory farming and is backed by Big Food is ran by a kind of political totem which favors the bottom line over your health. The marketing of unhealthful foods and trends including "The Paleo Diet" and many others fads that tout a heavy meat biased guideline and corporate food marketing are now finally a major source of controversy and linked to many health issues and cancer.

If you've always wanted to know how to receive your full protein and nutrients while being a vegetarian but didn't know where to begin, I'm happy to guide you on the journey. Even if your desire is to simply reduce your meat intake but are you are afraid of not getting enough protein, we can tailor a semi plant based nutrient dense meal plan that best suits your needs and body requirements to achieve your goals. 🌱

I believe in biodiversity and a vegetarian or vegan diet may not always be the best option for everyone but increasing plant foods and healthy substitutes to reduce meat protein can make dramatic differences in your overall well being while saving the planet.

DRINK YOUR GREENS

My kind of shots these days... I use @macrolife_naturals powder for days that I can't have fresh pressed green juice which is often. It's one of the best tasting greens powders that you can drink alone or mix in your smoothies.

I absolutely love the taste and often opt to drink it straight. Super refreshing and chalk full of plant based superfoods, vitamins, minerals, and equals 5 servings of fruits and vegetables including 18 billion probiotics. It is also incredibly low in sugar and uses stevia as a sweetener. So happy I found this gem company and greens source to fuel up daily. 💪🌱🌿🍏🍐🥝

HEART WISE

Green foods nourish and heal the heart, oxygenate your blood and improve circulation. Purple foods feed your brain and activate your intuition. Eating a combination of green and purple foods connects your heart center to your pineal gland, allowing you to move through life with a fearless, all knowing heart. 💜💚💜💚

A beautiful plate by Alphafoodie featuring sautéed kale, sprinkled with sesame seeds, baked purple potatoes, roasted purple cauliflower and mashed avocados is the perfect recipe for heart wisdom. 🙌

INCREASE YOUR INTUITION

Roasting up these beautiful purple cauliflowers. They almost look too good to eat and much like their white variety they have immense cancer fighting properties but these purple gems actually can help raise your vibrations, intuition and connect you to your divinity.

Each energy center has its own color frequency (red, orange, yellow, green, aquamarine, purple and violet). When we consume a food of a similar color or frequency, we feed that energy center. Hence eating the rainbow daily can help balance psychological and spiritual energy. As you feed your energy centers, you feed your soul.

Eating bluish or purple foods in particular will help the third eye and crown centers to gain clarity and focus. Among other great choices are: blackberries, black currants, blueberries, red or purple grapes, prunes and raisins.
