Hey everyone!

It’s been a while since my last tip, but I tend to post them as I think of them, or as I invent them rather than trying to force the issue. It’s just the way I work. As you know, I live the alkaline diet myself and am constantly learning and looking to improve my lifestyle so you get these alkaline diet tips as soon as I get them! This is 100% real, baby.

Anyway, I know personally that having tasty, filling alkaline snack recipes is a hurdle on the alkaline diet – and I know you guys feel the same, so I am hoping that this tip will help a lot of you out in your quest to reach your health goals.

The Super-Fast Alkaline Snack Recipe

So I’ve recently started working from a new super-cool office in the city, rather than from home, quite simply because I like to get out of the house and be around people. Plus, its a great way to get to know the city. But, the challenge this throws up is this:

If I am not working from home I need to be able to very quickly make lunch and 2-3 alkaline snacks to take with me

I know this is a similar situation a lot of you face.

I also have the following challenge:

I need to keep up my vegetarian protein intake on days I go to the gym

So I very quickly devised the following alkaline-rich, nutrient-dense, super-fast snack that I can take with me and it tastes great hot or cold!

Super Fast BeanSnack

Here’s the super-fast 80% alkaline version:

1/2 tin organic tomatoes
1 tin of any of the following: chickpeas/kidney beans/cannelini beans/butterbeans etc
4 broccoli florets
A LARGE handful of spinach
Himalayan Salt & Pepper

Plus any of the following:

Peas
Handful of kale
Parsley/Basil
Snowpeas
Green beans
Etc

Just throw everything except the spinach into a small pan and cook (without oil) over a low heat until the beans have warmed, then throw in the spinach and wilt slightly. Transfer it all to a container and pop it in your bag!

And here is the 100% alkaline version:

Use real tomatoes (about 3), peel them and chop roughly. Use real beans or chickpeas and rehydrate from dried. Don’t heat, just eat it fresh. Obviously this takes a little longer and isn’t warmed but it is delicious.

There you have it – super easy – super quick – super protein (about 12g) and super tasty (here is another high-protein alkaline recipe if you’re interested)!

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:

The Fill-You-Up Alkaline Salad

Serves 2

Ingredients

2 Handfuls of baby spinach leaves
1 Handful of rocket leaves
1 Handful of cos lettuce
1 Handful of lamb’s lettuce (note: use whatever leaves you have)
100g tofu
1 serve of quinoa
½ can of chickpeas
1 avocado
1 handful of seeds & nuts (I used sesame, sunflower and pumpkin)
6 cherry tomatoes
½ cucumber
½ green or red pepper
Olive oil (& coconut oil if you have it)
Lemon
Himalayan/Sea salt & black pepper

Instructions

Lightly fry off the tofu in coconut oil (coconut is the only safe oil to cook with) and make the quinoa to the packet’s instructions (usually 1 part quinoa, 2 parts water, boiled and then simmered until the water evaporates, about 10 minutes).

Now prepare the salad by washing everything thoroughly and chopping to how you like it. I prefer to rip my salad leaves – makes it more rustic. Mix everything together with the juice of half a lemon and a drizzle of olive, hemp, avocado or Udo’s Choice oil and serve.

Feel full and happy.
