ULTRA ALKALINE SALAD- Vegan, Gluten-Free & Oil-Free

Greens are awesome:

They’re at the top of the scale for nutrient density.

They’re filled with vitamins and minerals and are low in calories.

They’re versatile, pair well with other food and are down right delicious!

I’ve also noticed that the days I eat the most greens are the days I feel the best and most energized. Skip the coffee and go for a bowl of this Ultra Alkaline Salad. It’s easy to throw together and ever so refreshing in this summer humidity.

This healthy and flavourful salad is packed with alkaline forming foods. The more alkaline forming foods you eat the better you’ll feel 🙂
