If your body’s craving something hydrating, cleansing, and full of plant-powered goodness, this alkaline smoothie is it. Made with leafy greens, hydrating veggies, citrus, and fruit, it’s designed to help support your body’s natural pH balance while flooding your cells with nutrients. Whether you’re easing into a cleanse or just need a refreshing reset, this smoothie is a simple, energizing way to start your day on an alkaline high.

Why Use Alkaline Water in Smoothies

Most Americans are chronically dehydrated, which can lead to low energy, poor sleep, and dry skin. As we age, hydration becomes even more important. Alkaline water supports cellular hydration, helping our cells function better and flush out waste. I first discovered it in 2005 when my dad, after a leukemia diagnosis, started filling jugs at a local alkaline water shop. It was a family effort—and a workout!

Alkaline water is made with an ionizer that raises its pH. While the body regulates pH on its own, our acidic diets (full of sugar and processed food) can benefit from more alkaline options. Brands like Jovē now offer bottled alkaline water with a pH of 9.5+, enhanced with liquid silica for smooth taste and hydration that supports skin and cellular health. You can find it almost anywhere now—proof of how far wellness has come!

Alkaline Smoothie Ingredients

This smoothie is packed with naturally alkaline foods to nourish and hydrate from the inside out:

• Spinach: A highly alkaline leafy green that supports bone health and helps reduce inflammation
• Dinosaur (Lacinato) Kale: More alkaline than curly kale, and loaded with vitamin A for skin and eye health
• Lime: Though acidic on its own, lime becomes alkaline-forming once metabolized and is full of immune-boosting vitamin C
• Cucumber: One of the most alkaline and hydrating veggies (96% water!) and packed with antioxidants
• Frozen Peaches: Naturally sweet and alkaline-forming, they give the smoothie a creamy, refreshing texture

How to Make Alkaline Smoothie

Start by adding spinach, kale and your alkaline water to the blender. This step is super important—especially when working with tougher greens like dinosaur kale. Blending the greens with just the liquid helps break them down fully so you don’t end up with gritty bits or chewy chunks in your smoothie.

Let your blender run for 30–60 seconds, or until the mixture looks smooth and no visible pieces of greens remain. Don’t rush this part! The smoother the base, the creamier your final smoothie will be.

Next, add your remaining ingredients—in this case, cucumber, frozen peaches, and the lightly peeled lime. I suggest peeling the lime just enough to remove the outer zest while keeping some of the white pith intact. That pith is packed with nutrients and fiber, and it blends well without being bitter.

Blend everything again until your smoothie is silky smooth and evenly combined. If it’s too thick, add a splash more water. If it’s too thin, toss in a few more frozen peaches or ice cubes for a thicker texture.
