I love love love this alkalising superfood because it contains all the greens I want/need to move my body to a healthy alkaline state. This is the perfect greens powder to add to your daily smoothie, and it’s non-GMO, and certified organic. When buying a greens product, it’s important to know and trust the supplier to make sure than all of the powders are clean and non-toxic.
Why do you need a greens powder?
If you’re on a whole food plant-based diet, and if you eat platters full of raw greens everyday (not always easy), you might be fine without a greens powder. But for most people it’s hard to sustain such a clean and green diet. Eating too many proteins and too few deep green leafy vegetables results in the overproduction of sulphuric, nitric and phosphoric acids, which are a natural result of protein metabolism.
In order to neutralise this acid ahead of excretion from the kidneys, the body donates alkaline minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium). The body may also use fat cells to store the excess acid.
Taking one teaspoon of this powder helps restores the body’s natural balance.
