This is one of my favourite dishes, as it is very wholesome, delicious and alkaline at the same time.
Lentils are not only delicious but are also packed with high levels of proteins and contain dietary fiber, folate, Vitamin B1, and minerals. Apart from that they are also one of the best vegetable sources of iron.
This dish makes a great main course or accompaniment with healthy fish like salmon.
Just try it and enjoy!

This is a wonderful salad filled with surprisingly delightful textures and flavours and has become one of my favourites in the past few weeks. Even though it is snowing where most of you are, this will bring some summer to your table!
The genius of serving it in a tortilla bowl is just, quite frankly, mindblowing. I love it! It is an idea I stole while I was on a cruise the other week (random, I know – but it was the cheapest way to get from Europe to the States – I actually MADE money!) and since then I’ve tried it a few times and loved it more each time.

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
1 lemon or lime
Olive/avocado oil or Udo’s Choice

Hey gang

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:

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.

This week, the beautifully named ‘colon week’ I’m bringing you a high-fibre recipe to help cleanse your body – but it is also a delicious, delicious meal! Plus, as ever (due to the fact that I make it myself) it is really simple and quick – just the way I like my recipes to be!
Couscous with Tomatoes, Basil and Lentils

Ingredients
- 350ml of fresh vegetable juice (tomato, cucumber, spinach etc – OR you can use V8 or a shop bought veggie juice in this instance)

Strictly speaking, this probably comes under the ‘transitional’ banner – but I will have this for brekkie perhaps once a week. It is a great, filling home-made muesli that is full of Essential Fatty Acids and is therefore great for your body, your skin in particular.
You can have it with whatever type of non-dairy milk you prefer, and I actually have it with very little milk at all. In fact, sometimes I have even been known to have it with a little soy yoghurt and half an apple as a weekend treat. Almond milk is probably the nicest with this but is obviously a little less accessible.

This recipe is really simple to make and can be used with almost any meal to give it a little spice, a little extra flavour and some zing.
I love it and I use it all of the time. It only takes a few minutes to prepare and if you are starting to alkalise then it uses ingredients you’re likely to have in the house all of the time.
Here it is:
Basil & Coriander Alkaline Sauce
