These wraps are GENIUS! People often tell me how hard it is to find sprouted wraps in the UK (in the USA you can find them at Alvarado Street Bakery – they might even ship to the UK…) so these wraps are the perfect, alkaline answer!
They are perfect for a healthy lunch if you are on the go or a quick alkaline snack in between.
I really like normal wraps, but then thought – I also love San Choy Bow…hmmm…I have an idea here – how great and more alkaline it would be if you swapped out the bread wraps with something more alkaline and healthy … lettuce of course!

This is a delicious and alkaline recipe using tofu and spinach as the main ingredients. It has got a lovely texture and an interesting flavour given by the variety of spices used in this recipe.
Tofu is a great alternative to meat and contains a low amount of calories. It also contains large amounts of iron and little fat. Depending on the coagulant used in manufacturing, the tofu may also be high in magnesium and/or calcium.
Spinach as we know is highly alkalising and has a high nutritional value. It is extremely rich in antioxidants and is a rich source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Magnesium, Mangenese, Zink and Iron, just to name a few.

This 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.

This alkaline and spicy aubergine and chick pea stew can be found all over the Mediterranean, but is particularly popular in the Lebanon.
As most of the Mediterranean dishes this stew is packed with a range of spices, which gives it its different flavours and gets your taste buds tingling.
Apart from being extremely delicious it is also very healthy and alkaline, as aubergines and chick peas are packed with nutrients, which are important for good health. Aubergines are a good source of folic acid and potassium and also help the formation of free radicals. Chick peas contain high levels of protein, zinc and folate.

This 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.

This is a delicious and alkaline vegetable curry with an abundance of oriental flavours.
In my weekly organic vegetable box I recently received a romanesco cauliflower for the first time. I was absolutely amazed by the beautiful looks of it, which looks more like a piece of art than a vegetable. I was even more impressed by its flavours, which is somewhere between a cauliflower and broccoli.
The romanesco cauliflower is part of the brassica family and is low in fat, high in dietary fiber, water, folate, vitamin C and several phytochemicals which are beneficial to human health.

This 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.
