Alkalizing Veggie Bowl
In a recent Silver and Gold article we shared the importance of eating less-acidic foods (such as sugary treats, too many meats and coffee) and focusing your food intake on more alkalizing foods.
​
Our body is alkaline by nature, and it requires a well balanced pH level to function properly. If the body bewcomes too acidic, then we begin to have more health issues and diseases can begin.
​
This recipe is highly alkalizing, full of nutrients, and great to have for lunch and even breakfast! Try this recipe first thing in the morning - especially if you're not partial to sugary cereals, eggs or oatmeal type breakfasts. You will sure find it satisfying!

Ingredients:
(note: you may switch out any ingredient you don't like, without compromising the alkalinity level of the recipe... make it your own!)
-
2 Tbsp. olive oil or grapeseed oil (do NOT use canola oil!)
-
1/2 onion
-
3 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
-
1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped
-
1 celery stick, chopped
-
1 Cup of broccoli, roughly chopped
-
2 Cups of spinach
-
4 large leaves of Kale
-
2 Bay leaves
-
1/4 Cup fresh parsley
-
1 Tbsp. Tamari sauce (gluten-free soya)
-
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar (organic is best)
-
1 tsp. sea salt
-
1-1/2 Cup raw sprouted lentils (see our recipe for making sprouted pulses, and why these are best!)
-
2 Cups of water
-
Juice from half a fresh lemon or lime
​
How to:
Heat a large deep pan to medium temperature and add oil. Once heated, add first 5 veggies and stir until softer - about 5 minutes.
​
Add the balance of the ingredients - MINUS THE LEMON/LIME JUICE, and stir well to combine.
​
Cook on medium, stirring often, until all ingredients have become more tender and lentils have softened - about 10 minutes.
​
Once all veggies are al-dente tender (not soft and mushy, and not too crunchy), then add lemon/lime juice and serve.
