Alkalising
Raw Soup
Serves 2
This is definitely a highly energising soup
and is a big favourite while on a cleanse or detox. Contains
avocado which is high in EFAs and cucumber which is well known
for its cleansing properties. The taste of this soup can be dramatically
altered by the use of the herbs and spices mentioned or by alternating
between lemon and lime.
Ingredients:
1 avocado
2 spring onions
1/2 red or green pepper
1 cucumber
2 handfuls of spinach
1/2 clove of garlic
Bragg
Liquid Aminos to taste
100ml of light vegetable Bouillon (yeast free)
Juice of 1 lemon or lime
Optional: coriander, parsley, cumin.
Blend the
avocado and stock to form a light paste, then add the other ingredients
and blend.
Vegetable
Super Juice
Serves 2
This juice is a popular one for breakfast
as it gives your energy levels a boost, wakens your digestive
system whilst giving your body a nutrition, yet gentle start
to the day. 250ml mixed with 250ml of distilled water is usually
enough to keep me going until lunchtime. If you are keen to get
'5-a-Day' this is a pretty good start!
Ingredients:
1 whole cucumber
4 sticks of celery
2-4 handfuls of spinach
8 lettuce leaves
Any other greens!
Optional boosters: parsley and fresh alfalfa sprouts
Juice all ingredients and mix 50/50 with distilled water. Add optional lemon
juice to taste and Prime
pH to boost the alkalinity of the juice.
Healing Detox Juice
Serves
2
A sweeter,
more subtle juice which still packs a nutritional punch!
The combination of the
carrots, spinach and parsley provides an excellent
source of antioxidants, while the celery lends its cleansing properties.
Ingredients:
3-4 Carrots
125g Fresh Spinach
Handful of Flat Leaf Parsley
2-3 Sticks of Celery
Juice all ingredients (putting celery through last). Mix with
water to taste or drink neat (your preference).
Warm Broccoli Soup
Serves
2
This is definitely a winter favourite and
destroys the myth that all raw food has to be cold and unwelcoming!
By steaming the broccoli for just 5-6 minutes, the meal remains
raw, but gains enough warmth to give that filling, comforting
feeling of soup. The texture given by the broccoli and the kick
of the ginger make this an excellent choice for those new to
alkalising.
Ingredients:
1/2 Avocado
6 -8 Decent size Broccoli Heads
1/3 Red Onion
1 Celery Stick
Big Handful of Spinach
An Inch of Root Ginger
Bragg
Liquid Amino (Optional)
Cumin (Optional)
Lightly steam the broccoli (5-6 minutes) and put with all ingredients
in a blender. Add garlic, pepper, RealSalt to taste. The heat from
the broccoli makes this a lovely, gently warmed soup great for
winter.
Autumn Tomato & Avocado
Alkalising Soup
Serves
2
This is a nice soup to have either cold (a bit like gazpacho)
or warmed (on a slightly chilly morning or evening)
Ingredients:
5 large ripe (preferably vine) tomatoes.
1 ripe avocado
1 spring onion
1/4 cup ground almonds (freshly done yourself, not packet)
1 cup broth from Swiss Vegetable Bouillon
1/4 teaspoon dill seed
Dash cayenne pepper
Sea salt & cracked black pepper to taste
All you need to do is place all of the ingredients into a blended
(except one of the tomatoes) and blend! Depending on whether you
are going cold or warm - then place the soup into a pan and warm
very slightly. Warming so that it is not painful to put your finger
into still means that the soup is raw. Add the last tomato (sliced)
on top and serve!
Voila!

to use boiling water as this can sometimes damage the sealant
