Easy Alkaline Recipes

Change is difficult and could be challenging especially if you have family members who are so used to eating comfort foods that are convenient, easily available and ready to eat in two minutes with the use of a microwave.  So how do you slowly introduce these healthy changes when serving alkaline food recipes instead of the good all meat and potatoes dish?

Let’s start by taking an inventory of what you have in your pantry.  Introduce a daily meal plan that would allow your family to eat three to four times a day with two to three servings of snacks a day.  This may sound like its too much work for you being the Mom or Dad but it is important to eat more often and munch healthy snacks rather than having one big heavy meal full of fat, salt and cholesterol.

A.  Organize and Make an Inventory of your Pantry

Serve and encourage your family to eat three to four meals a day with two to three servings of light and healthy snacks. Your daily meal plan should include the combinations of fresh fruits, freshly cooked vegetables or light salads, lean meat and low carbs like brown rice. Used fresh herbs and spices whenever possible to add flavor to your alkaline recipes and use oils high in alkaline content like olive oil, grape seed oil, or extra virgin coconut oil. All these contain omega fatty acids essential to alkalize the body and provide it with nourishing energy.

B. Top Ten Recipes: Jump Start Your Life

Browse the internet for easy alkaline diet recipes that will allow you to use whatever is available in your food cabinets.  Start slow and in moderation; when introducing change, do it in baby steps so your family can welcome this healthy start.  Choose three to five favorite family dishes, study the ingredients and turn it into an easy alkaline recipe your family can enjoy and savor.

C. Introduce New Meals, Snacks or Drinks

Experiment on green juices made of fresh, raw, organic vegetables with a teaspoon of good protein powder for a light, filling and nutritious healthy drink that can jump start the body’s energy and vitality.  Combine fruits and veggies your family likes to eat to create unique flavors that will surely love.
