raw food

This was an interesting question and one I was keen to get stuck into. There are obvious synergies between the alkaline diet and the raw food approach – and I am definitely an advocate of eating at least 40-50% raw each day. I just feel more vibrant when I do eat more raw foods than cooked!

I actually had dinner with a good friend last night and he was a raw food preparation genius! He had his spiral slicer, dehydrator, juicer, mandolin and all sorts going and he had whipped up what was the most colourful, delicious and nutrient packed salad I had ever seen – within about 5 minutes! The spiralized beetroot and courgette were just awesome!

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:
