Hey y’all
I’m blogging and newsletter writing from Turkey (Oludeniz of all places) for the next couple of weeks so I thought it might be nice to allow my current cuisine to influence the alkaline recipes!

In 1994 Guy was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and was told by numerous doctors that he would never be well again, and faced surgery and a life with a colostomy bag.

This is a really, really, honestly, really beautiful recipe. Great as a starter soup, I first had this at Bentley Restaurant in Surry Hills, Sydney as a Gazpacho Trio (standard tomato, almond & cucumber and herb - which I am working on!) and it was the Gaspacho aux amandes that stood out!
This is a transitional or treat recipe because it does contain a little bread - but I am working on a work around for this to make it more alkaline. Still I’d say it fits into the 70/30 alkaline acid balance really rather well.

This is a lovely green drink (a little less green than this one though) that is really fantastic when you are first starting out or transitioning onto a more alkaline diet.
It contains a number of the sweeter vegetables, so is a little high in sugar relative to other green drinks, however, it is still alkalising, energising and packed full of nutrients!
