The Best Alkaline Diet Recipes

Sample: Broccoli Quinoa Salad-To-Go

• 3 cups cooked quinoa- see method below
• 5 cups raw broccoli, cut into small florets and stems
• 3 medium garlic cloves
• 2/3 cup raw nuts – cashews, almonds or pine nuts
• 1/3 cup rice Parmesan (tricky to find but you’ll see it in the chillers in a small blue foiled shaker)
• sea salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (usually 1 med. lemon)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp hemp oil (amazing omega 3-6-9′s added here)
• 1/4 cup almond milk  (unsweetened)
• yummy optional toppings- sliced avocado
, hemp nuts, raw chopped nuts or seeds

Method

Cook the quinoa: 2 cups water and 1 cup quinoa (rinsed) and bring to boil and then simmer for approx 10 mins till water is mostly absorbed then set aside with lid on for a wee bit to soften further and absorb remaining liquid.  Stir and then allow to cool.  Pour off any excess liquid.

Bring a pot of water to boil and season generously with 1 tbsp good sea salt, then add the broccoli and allow to turn bright green with just 1-2 mins max cooking time.  Drain and then run cool water over to stop it from cooking further. Set aside 3 cups of this cooked broccoli for use later.

Now combine remaining ingredients except oil and milk in a food processor creating a finely blended mixture.  Now add oils and milk and mix til just combined, not too pureed.  Combine this mixture with the remaining 3 cups of broccoli and season with sea salt to taste.

Pack your lunch box with toppings of hemp nuts, chopped raw nuts and even sliced avocado combined with a generous heap of mixed greens.  If you have 50% broccoli salad and 50% greens you’ll have approx 30-70 ratio of veggies and greens to the quinoa which is a perfect alkaline proportion.
