Alkaline Pistou SoupThis week’s alkaline recipe features another delicious soup, which is packed with different vegetables and will definitely keep you warm in these still pretty cold temperatures.

This pistou soup is mostly associated with the Provencal dish Soupe au Pistou or the minestrone al pesto from Italy. Traditionally pistou is made with parmesan cheese, which we will leave out, as it is acidifying.

The usual ingredients used are green beans, white beans, potatoes and tomatoes. This particular recipe contains these plus some other healthy and alkaline vegetables like courgettes, onions, celery and carrots, which are all packed with nutrients and are important for good health.

Courgettes with Moroccan SpicesThis is another one of my favourite and quick dishes from North Africa using courgettes and a variety of Moroccan spices.

The combination of garlic and onion with chilli, paprika and cumin gives the courgettes a deliciously spicy flavour.

Courgettes, the main stars of this dish, do not only taste good but are also extremely healthy as they are packed with folate, potassium, vitamin A and manganese.

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:
