Chilli Spring GreensThis is a fabulous and highly alkalising recipe using delicious spring greens and chilli as the main ingredients.

Spring greens are one of these vegetables which are often left out in the kitchen, as a lot of us do not really know what to do with them. This is a real shame as they are packed with nutrients, are highly alkalising and are very versatile vegetables to cook with. You can steam, fry or even mash them.

They are nutritious and particularly rich in folic acid, Vitamin C and dietary fibre, which makes them very healthy and alkalising.

Quinoa Salad with AvocadoThis is an alkalising quinoa salad with avocado, which is not only healthy but also highly delicious.

Quinoa is an ancient “grain” from South America, which was once called “the gold of the Incas”, who believed that due to its nutritional benefits it increases the stamina of their warriors.

Quinoa is very high in “complete” protein, which means that it includes all nine essential amino acids. In addition to protein, it is also packed with other valuable nutrients like manganese, iron, magnesium, copper and phosphorus.

Alkaline Diet Recipe #94: Fennel Soup

by Ross on November 17, 2010

Fennel SoupThis is a highly nutritious and alkalising fennel soup, which will warm you up in these freezing temperatures.

I particularly love soups in the winter months, as they fill me up nicely and warm me up from the inside when I am feeling cold. This recipe features one of my favourite vegetables – fennel.

Fennel has got a very distinctive taste and aromatic flavour which reminds me of anise or licorice. It is crunchy and slightly sweet and is widely used in Mediterranean cuisine. It is also one of these vegetables which is packed with nutrients and highly alkalising.

Leafy Greens and Ginger Stir-FryThis delicious stir-fry reflects my love for pumpkins and squashes of all colours and shapes. They are typical autumn vegetables and I always collect pumpkins to make nice outdoor autumn decorations.

Apart from that I also love to eat them and got very excited when I discovered a recipe which includes the unusual combination of healthy and alkalising squash and leafy greens.

For this stir-fry you can use different leafy greens such as cavalo nero, green cabbage, chard or spinach which are all packed with nutrients and are high in calcium, iron, dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K and folic acid to name a few.

Lamb Lettuce Alkaline Salad with Walnuts and AvocadoI have just got back from a holiday to Corsica and discovered a delicious salad there, which contains my favourite type of salad which is lamb’s lettuce, a highly alkalising avocado (see whfoods info on avocado here – fantastico) and a handful of crunchy walnuts.

Lamb’s lettuce is extremely healthy and has many nutrients, including three times as much vitamin C as lettuce, beta-carotene, B6, B9, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids. You will already know how nutritious and alkaline avocados are, as they are very rich in potassium, B vitamins, vitamin E and K. Avocados are also known to promote healthy skin and hair. Some people use them for facial masks, however they are most beneficial when eaten.

Raw Avocado SoupIf you are a fan of raw soups like the Spanish Gazpacho you will love this delicious raw avocado soup with tomatoes and fresh spinach!

Avocados are incredibly healthy and alkalising and provide our bodies with six times more energy than sugar and proteins. They are rich in potassium, B vitamins, as well as vitamin E and vitamin K.

The avocados combined with the other highly alkalising vegetables like spinach and tomatoes make this soup very tasty and refreshing.

Mixed Sprouts SaladThis is a really healthy and alkaline salad using a variety of sprouts.

Sprouts are super healthy and are highly alkalising foods. They are extremely rich in digestible energy, bioavailable vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, beneficial enzymes and phytochemicals.

I absolutely love eating sprouts as they are so versatile and I try to integrate them into lots of different dishes like stir fries, salads, wraps, etc.

This is a great salad, as it is easy and quick to make and very tasty!

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