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.
Simple as that!

Thanks for the reciepe tastes great with the coriander
What is Bragg Aminos Liquid? Live in South Africa and have no clue
Why do all these recipes only have green vegetables? I understand they are the ultimate Alkaline source, but I thought any salad and any vegatable was adequate for the Alkaline diet-if one stuck to mostly non-green salad & veg will one still equally Alkalise or is dosing up only on greens the only way?
Confused & frustrated,

Hey
These are really simple alkaline recipes and it is part chance and part planned that most of them are heavily green based.
The ones here are very green because a) greens are the most alkaline of all the veg and b) because these vegetables taste good in these recipes. Putting carrots, red cabbage, beetroot or pumpkin into this recipe simply wouldn’t taste so good.
That is not to mean that these vegetables aren’t alkaline though! Almost every vegetable (apart from potatoes) are alkalising so eat them freely!
You should eat a nice, wide variety of foods - don’t feel restricted!
And I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t promote my course here which comes with our Energise Alkaline Recipe Book (which has lots of non-green, treat meals) and a 12-week guided course which plans out every meal of every day for you, with weekly shopping lists that tell you just what to buy in order to cook each of these meals. And this is just one part of it.

HI , thanks for all the info. Today was my first day of starting the Master cleanse. and Im half way thru my day and already feel terrible. So I am opting out of it. Unfortunately, (not literally) something in my gutt kept saying this cannot be healthy. But like many of us, I chose not to listen to my gutt. But am today listenting to my body. I am an avid athlete and gained about 30 pounds in the last two years just from shear burnout and not eating right. I came across your information on the Alkaline diet (while researching info about the master cleanse lemonade diet), and I must say, sounds, and is, much more healthy. My question to you is, I am currently wanting to train for a fitness competition, does this diet include any type of protein, ei: egg whites, fish etc?

Why do so many raw recipes call for Braggs? It contains excitotoxins. Wikipedia excitotoxins and Google Braggs for more info. It’s not good for you.
