The longer you alkalise the sweeter foods will taste and the more these foods will feel like a treat to you.
It is a well known that as you start alkalising your body, your tastes adjust. Personally, I can’t stand the thought of soft drinks…so sugary sweet! – and I even resist chocolate these days…you also begin to get more awareness for sweet sensations from subtle flavours such as carrots, cucumber and capsicum, which must be a good thing.
So – here are 10 Alkalising tips and snacks:
- Put a ‘zing’ in your step… Start your day with a lemon juice in filtered or alkaline water… amazing.
- A bowl of cut kiwi fruit & fresh pineapple…delicious.
- Make a delicious vanilla natural whey protein drink or banana whey smoothie…packed full of energy it will keep you going and going till lunch…
- Watermelon, watermelon, watermelon for a delicious cool summer breakfast or snack…a treat…may combine with other melons.
- Go green…for breakfast…make yourself a delicious green drink like Vital Green…packed full of wheatgrass, Spirulina, chlorella, alfalfa and alkalizing fruits and vegetables…a great start to the day…may combine at first with juice but gradually as you alkalise you will begin to not need juice and start to crave the delicious taste…au natural
- Raw Soups: for lunch…make yourself a giant batch and then eat/drink as much as you like, whenever you are hungry, tired or bored! The raw alkalizing vegetable soups will give your body a HUGE boost of nutrients in a form that the body can easily assimilate, meaning that it will require absolutely no energy to digest. This is a real body booster.
- Organic Almonds: full of protein, fibre, calcium, magnesium, potassium (yes, 3 of the 4 most alkaline minerals) vitamin E & other antioxidants, phytochemicals – & unsaturated fat. Remember to soak your almonds overnight in order to help the body to digest the nutrients & goodness.
- Sprouts: these are one of the most alkalising, nutritious & easily accessible foods know to man. Being rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins & enzymes, they can be grown easily in four to six days & require no effort & very little cost. Crunchy, raw & delicious!
- Raw Carrot: shredded, sticks, chunks or just peeled – carrot offers a sweet, water-rich, nutrient dense snack that is packed full of vitamin A, C, K and B1, B3 and B6, fibre, magnesium, potassium and folate. Dip into hommus and tabouli.
- Natural Raw Seeds-get a mixture of pumpkin, sesame, sunflower and flax. This will give you a filling snack, plus a range of minerals, proteins and essential fatty acids.
