YUM! This is a unique one for me - an alkaline, fully vego pate! What a treat! One that you can make in a few minutes and enjoy with sprouted bread, tortillas or any other alkaline chip!
This literally is one of the best alkaline recipes I’ve ever come across and having tweaked it once or twice it’s ready for the blog. So here it is:
Sun-Dried Tomato Pate
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 cup of soaked sunflower seeds
1/3 cup soaked sun-dried tomatoes
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon finely diced red onion
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
1 clove garlic roughly chopped or smacked flat
1/4 teaspoon Himalayan salt
Sprinkle of black pepper

Hi everyone
I’ve blogged about this before, but we’ve seen such innovation in the past 18 months that I feel it is time to update you all on the best, cheapest and most effective ways to make your water more alkaline.

These are the two key components:
- Remove impurities
- Raise alkalinity to between pH 8-9.5

A large handful of fresh spinach

Welcome to my maiden video blog! I’ve been meaning to join the multimedia-multiplatform-web-2.0-blogosphere for a long time and after dipping my toes in the water with a few video interviews (with Dr Young, Guy Cohen & blood microscopist Gareth Edwards to come next week) – I decided that this was the week I was going to kick things off. And I’ve kicked them off in style!

This week I’m blogging and newsletter writing from Greece! I know! Jet-setting all over the place at the moment!
OK - so as I’m in Greece and I thought I’d whip out a nice Greek alkaline recipe! This recipe is not 100% alkaline because the ingredients are ‘cooked’ a little, but I’ve tweaked the traditional recipe to make it more raw and more alkaline.
Of course, serve with a big green salad and you’re rocking!
Alkaline Ratatouille

As part of some other work for the site this week I was forced to sit and think about my philosophy towards treats, snacking, deprivation and will and express how I’ve made the alkaline diet work for me.
The thought of giving up some of your favourite foods, drinks and social eating and drinking is really scary for us when we first commit to living alkaline - so I hope my philosophy puts you at ease!
Treating Treats as Treats
A question I often get asked (a LOT at the Dr Young Live Weekend) is:
