What some health alkaline diet recipes?

I am trying to lose weight and become healtier. I have been reading about the benefits of a diet high in alkaline foods, but it looks difficult to follow. Can you give me some alkaline diet recipes?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Anytime you change to a new diet, it is helpful to find recipes to get you started. Once this becomes a habit, you will likely develop some recipes yourself.

Green Smoothies:
In a blender, layer 1 cup ice, 1 cup water, 6-8 frozen strawberries, and 3-4 handfuls organic baby green spinach. Blend until it reaches the desired consistency. You may need to add more water.

Salad:
Any mixture of greens: spinach, romaine, leafy green lettuce, bok choy or other greens can be the base. Add to that chopped raw veggies of your choice. Tomatoes, avocadoes, cucumbers, celery, carrots, radishes, onions are all alkaline. Eat as many as you desire. Top with a simple vinaigrette made from 1/2 c raw apple cider vinegar, blended with 2/3 c virgin olive oil, and 1/2 c honey. Add herbs, spices, sea salt to taste.

Kale Salad:
Kale is a dense green and needs to be worked with to eat raw in a salad. Tear the kale in small pieces, drizzle with olive oil. Gently massage the olive oil into the kale leaves. This makes them softer and easier to chew. Drizzle with a light vinaigrette, toss lightly. Add 2 cups of chopped veggies, such as onions and tomatoes. Garnish with a handful of raisins.

Daniel asks…

Help with diet/recipes that contain little to no meat?

I was raised in a meat-loving family so I never was used to eating salads, nor do I know how to make vegetarian meals.
Now I have a medical condition that requires me to lay off red meat completely, and to have very minimal white meat.
I’m allowed to have some free range fish and eggs, but the diet is supposed to be based on vegies, lentils, chick peas, and such.
Please share some of your vegetarian recipes or links to help me out.
Thanks 🙂

Gardenburger Breakfast Bacon – make a BLT add avacado.

Slice tomatoes in rounds, top with Soya Kaas mozzarella cheese, basil, cut up figs (peeled, washed in hot water to bring out the sweetness) sprinkle with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Leave out to room temp until cheese is ‘melted’ looking.

Stir-fry veggies and rice with Tofu – I use extra firm, wrap in paper towels to soak up the excess water. Cut in slices, fry in a little olive oil, hot pepper sesame oil and soy sauce. Sprinkle with ginger, garlic, curry, whatever you have in the cupboard. Top with sesame seeds. You can also top it with sliced veggie cheese and serve on toasted sourdough with mustard.

Gardenburger Riblets, baked potato, broccoli (w/ lemon, margarine and garlic) and a salad.

Pasta w/ marinara sauce, if you have Boca Itailan Sausages cut them up and add it to the sauce. Serve with garlic bread – spread butter on bread, sprinkle with garlic powder and brown in a pan, butter side down.

Clean portobello mushrooms, cut up, saute in olive oil, garlic and a little soy sauce. Serve with salad.

MorningStar Farms Sausages (not the breakfast ones) are good on homemade pizza – add mushrooms, tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, onions, soy cheese.
