Spring is here and the weather is getting warmer once again. That means it’s smoothie time! Smoothies can be an easy way to get in some extra nutrients in, for your and for your family. When you combine the right blend of ingredients, you can really create a powerful, antioxidant powerhouse that actually tastes good, and not like you’re eating grass.

Here are three smoothie alkaline water-based recipes to try using your Dafi Alkaline Water Glass Pitcher.

Health tip:

Most smoothies will require to use a heavy, creamy dairy product (such as yogurt or coconut milk) or sugar-infused juice as a base. Instead, we’re cutting a lot of the calories and unnecessary sugars using just water instead. Alkaline filtered water from your Dafi Glass Pitcher will give you all the benefits of drinking alkaline water (link to post https://store.dafi.us/blog-dafi/benefits-of-alkaline-water/) without adding all of the calories for the base beverage of your smoothie.

Bonus:

For a thicker smoothie, you can put the alkaline water in an ice cube tray to freeze. To note, there will be some ORP and alkalinity lost when water is frozen and exposed to air for prolonged periods of time. We recommend to freeze and use as quickly as possible.

If you’re taking your smoothie on the go with you, you can use your Sports Water Bottle as well as an easy to carry with you alternative. Simply blend together the following list of ingredients, pour and you’re ready to enjoy!
