Question One: Coffee Substitutes
Really missing my milky coffee so am using rice milk with chicory, taking this to be non acidic- Is this ok? Also used ground barley substitute but stopped as I think this is acidic. Please advise.

This is a great quick, filling, raw, protein-filled, alkaline-rich, slow-release-energy, colourful powerhouse of a meal! Every time I have it I leave the table filled, satisfied and it keeps me going for HOURS! The combination of textures with the quinoa is great. This was also my introduction to quinoa and I use it more than any other grain now. It is superb!
So here it is, my colourful, fresh, raw:
Carrot & Courgette Stack
Serves 2
Ingredients
2 serves quinoa
Handful baby spinach leaves
1 carrot
1 courgette
1/2 avocado
Sesame seeds

Weight Loss, More Energy & No More Depression
Alkaline Course Gives Long-Term Results
Recently I had the pleasure of interviewing Charlotte about her experience on the alkaline diet course. Having finished the course approximately eight months ago, I thought now would be a great time to speak to Charlotte and see how she is getting on now, and to prove that this course has lasting impact.
Charlotte reported that the course helped her to lose weight, get more energy, end depression and change the way she thought about food forever!

Hey gang
This is a new one for me and it is DELICIOUS. It is so quick and easy too. The cumin is so delicious combined with the tomato and the rice adds a wicked texture. It is filling and warming on a cold winter’s day.

Kepow! Take that….. Historically we’ve had to rely on fictional characters such as Popeye, Doc Broc and (maybe) the Jolly Green Giant to help us believe that the path to increased physical endurance might have more to do with the vegetable patch than a steak. Increasingly though, real life athletes are starting to wake up to the fact endless bowels of pasta, protein powders or chicken may not be helping them get the results that they are after.

This is a super-salad. My meat-eating friends are forever challenging me to make a salad that fills me up, and doesn’t leave me hungry again in half an hour. They don’t believe it is possible. I promise you it is. And here is one of my creations.
I work out, I work hard and I need to be filled! I am a hungry young man! This salad doesn’t disappoint. It is tasty, filling, delicious and highly alkaline!
I use a mix of different leaves, but you can just use whatever you’ve got handy (apart from iceberg, which I thoroughly dislike!). So here it is:

The World Cancer Research Fund (UK) is a fantastic charity. They are really focused on educating people to PREVENT cancer through lifestyle rather than simply helping treat symptoms. I thoroughly applaud their attitude and approach.
This morning they published one of their most startling research findings to date: that more than 80,000 cancer cases per year in the UK could be prevented.
They rightly point out that most people truly believe that cancer just happens to them and it is fate as to whether they get it or not. What a shocking thing to think. I personally believe that almost all cancers are preventable. Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize for discovering that cancer cells cannot live in an alkaline environment and Dr Young proves this theory over and over again.

Tried to think of a better name for this one, but thought…nah…why not – it does exactly what it says on the tin!
This juice combines the alkalising, detoxifying, antioxidant rich goodness of the sharp grapefruit and the delicious, sweeter carrot, the subtle refreshing celery and the zing of the ginger. It is one of my best combinations yet!
The Delicious Refresher Juice
Serves 2
Ingredients
2 Grapefruits
2 Celery Stalks
1 Carrot
1 Inch of Ginger
250ml Alkaline Water (or dilute to taste)

Breakfast is always a hard one, especially when you are first starting out. At first glance, you check out the list of acid/alkaline foods and think – WHAT AM I GOING TO HAVE FOR BREAKFAST?! BROCCOLI?!
Well, while I must admit I have had steamed broccoli for breakfast on more than a few occasions, you don’t have to. In fact, breakfast has become my favourite meal of the day because the more I’ve learned to alkalise and compromise (both in terms of living a perfect alkaline life and living a debauched, unhealthy life) the more I have learned to find ways to make breakfast so much more exciting than just cereal and toast.

Gareth explains why the state of our blood is so important and what you can do to improve it.
So …. You’ve logged on to this website called Energise for Life. You might have ordered some products, but maybe your daily energy level isn’t where you would like it to be ….. yet! Maybe that skin condition is better but still not fully disappeared or maybe your aches and pains have diminished, but your still not itching to start marathon training(!?).
