the alkaline food diary

In my last post I talked about the Alkaline Diet so now it’s time to give you some ideas on what to eat.

During this week I found out that vegetables are more alterable than I thought they’d be, so let's see what I did with them. 

Breakfast

Smoothie 

put in everything you like, add some water and mix it – so simple and so good!!

The one that I made here consists of a loooot of strawberries, 3 small apples and 1 banana.

another breakfast idea

Fresh fruit salad and a cup of salvia/ginger tea

Basically the same as with the smoothie- put in everything you like or in my case I put in everything that is there :P

Lunch

Okay, I think this needs some explaining first. I know that people from the UK usually don’t eat a lot at lunchtime because they have a big dinner later- maybe it’s liket that in other countries as well ?! Let me know! Well anyways, I’m from Austria and we do it the other way round. So here are my big lunches :

Zucchininoodles + Potatoe mash kind of

I made the zucchininoodles with this special tool but you could simply cut them in long thin pieces – just takes an eternity. Then you add some pepper, tomatoes, basil and oregano and you’re done.

For the mash-thingy: you just cook the potatoes, grate it and fry it briefly.   

Tip: If you don’t have a pressure cooker to cook the potatoes put them in a bowl with a little bit of water and microwave it – check every now and then – they should take around 5-10 minutes (depends on the size) to cook in there. That’s so much quicker than the „normal“ way :P

Veggies with Wedges

Firstly, I steamed some Kohlrabi. I heard it’s hard to find in the US or in the UK, but it’s pretty common here and I really like it. If you have the chance go and buy some :) .. So, I steamed it and then fried it, added some pepper and champignons- et voila. Just fry a lot of vegetables you like.

Cut your potatoes and sprinkle them with oregano, basil, thyme, olive oil, pepper, salt..... and put them in the oven.

Snacks or Desserts

 

Fruit salad with nuts and almonds

Remember! You can eat raw fruits til 2pm – it’s not bad if you eat some afterwards but your body digests it better when you eat it before 2pm.

Dinner

  

 

Zucchini + potatoes 

You can see that I fell in love with zucchini and potatoes during that week. I had it pretty much every day – but it’s so variable!

So, again I cooked the potatoes in the microwave and then fried both things in a pan.

Vegetable Soup + mushrooms

I had some leftover mushrooms and I didn’t want to throw them away so I just put them in the soup as alternative to croutons.

My dad made this vegetable soup so I’m not quite sure what was in there but it must have been some carrots, celery, potatoes and maybe a zucchini. But yeah, again- just put in there what you like, cook it and mix it together.

That’s it guys. I hope you will cook some of this stuff too and if you have any questions just leave me a comment. 

Until then,
