Something that I am asked for over and over by beginners is a starter alkaline diet shopping list, those things you need to REALLY get going and start feeling the benefits right away.

I love this rice as a side to an alkaline ‘steam fry’/stir fry or just some steamed veggies with a Thai-style dressing. It’s not 100% alkaline of course, so keep this as part of your 30% non-alkaline in your meal.
It is full of fiber is really helpful in helping to cleanse through the digestive system and it all helps to satiate and keep us fuller for longer. It helps us detoxifies and acts like a sweep that cleanses out body.
This is a great example of doing something a little bit funky with your food to make alkaline meals more enjoyable

Chickpeas are a hit with me. Known to our American friends as Garbanzo beans – they are tasty, filling and perfect for this dish.

A super tasty dish is this simple yet full of flavour! Tofu is known as a very good source of protein – especially for those who work out and want to live alkaline. Also we have the Brazil nuts which are packed with vitamins, anti-oxidants and minerals – and while these are not the most alkaline of the nuts, they are OK in quantities like this.
