My mom only has two priorities when we vacation - fruit and a place to put her hammock. Her fav fruits are mangoes, papaya, and kiwis, so I decided to make her this blend of her fav fruits as a breaky.
Ingredients:
1 mango
1 sm papaya
2 kiwis (peeled)
Slice all and place in blender with mineral water or kombucha. Fruit is naturally acidic due to it's high ascorbic acid (vitamin C) levels and sugar content. You can create alkaline water by adding salts (pink), apple cider vinegar (1 tbsp for this recipe) or using a specific purifier, Kombucha is a natural basic drink. Fruit is also very cleansing and detoxifying which is one of many reasons why it should be eaten alone. Most dominantly it should be eaten alone because of it's high digestible fibers, water, and sugar content which allow it to be digested and assimilated into energy within 30 min. If you are to eat fruit on top of other more "rich" foods, including protein, complex carbs, and essential fats which all digest slower, you are creating an environment for fruit to ferment and create gas and loose nutritional value. Therefore it is best to eat fruit 30 min before a workout or a meal so that you can properly use the calories for energy and get the most value out of the nutrients.
