7 Most Alkaline Rich Foods: What Does 1 Serve Look Like?

Alkaline Rich Foods TogetherEver since I released my Definitive List of Alkaline Foods and then followed this up with my now, officially, ‘wildly popular’ 7 Most Alkaline Rich Foods guide I’ve been inundated with questions from you lovely people asking me more questions about how to start the alkaline diet, and how to live alkaline.

This is brilliant. It’s why I’m here. It’s why I spend hours and hours every week writing for you and answering your questions!

by Ross on January 24, 2012


Energise Ross - The Alkaline Diet Guy!So many of you who have seen my Definitive Acid / Alkaline Food Chart ask me – “…of the alkaline food list – which are the most alkaline foods?” so I wanted to create a full, in-depth analysis blog post of the Seven Most Alkaline Foods!

For each food I’ve given an intro, nutritional content per 1 cup, a number of free alkaline recipes that I’ve created for this blog or the Alkaline Diet Recipe Book and also a handful of research papers that have been published to validate the benefits stated.

So, to help you on your way to antioxidant heaven, here is our Energise Anti-Oxidant Super Meal. It is delicious, filling and takes about 10 minutes to make! Brilliant! Oh and it is so vibrant and colourful you’ll probably just want to look at it for ten minutes before you start eating.

We know that avocado is one of the most delicious alkaline foods. Robert Young calls it the PERFECT FOOD.

So how to make it even better? Combine it with chickpeas to get an extra hit of fibre and protein and voila – this snack is even more perfect than perfect!

I know that you guys often want me to give you an alkaline diet recipe that is a snack as well and this is a great one!

Enjoy with veggie sticks, dehydrated crackers, sprouted bread or with your salads for the perfect (filling) alkaline snack.

Alkaline Recipe Ideas

by Ross on November 7, 2011

Alkaline Recipe IdeasHi guys

It always frustrates me when I see people struggling with the alkaline diet because I know that most people have been led to believe it is harder than it really is, and that you have to try and be perfect right from day one.

[NINE Alkaline Recipes Below!]

If you’ve read many of my articles/guides you’ll know I don’t believe that this is true and that going slowly, transitioning gently and building up is THE only, sustainable way to get alkaline and stay alkaline. And I really want this blog post to help get you started and keep you on track.

Alkaline Diet Shopping List

by Ross on October 25, 2011

Alkaline Diet Shopping ListHi guys

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 know how amazing it can be to feel that massive positive rush of energy and vitality and all-round positivity when you first start to alkalise and this shopping list will be a big help to you.

…because I know how frustrating it can be to start with so much motivation and enthusiasm only to be undone by not having the right tools in the box.

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.

Most people don’t realise that chickpeas are also pretty darn healthy, and are full of fibre – which makes them great for digestion, as well as manganese (an alkaline mineral), folate and importantly for all your gym-going-athletes out there – protein.

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.
