This refreshing and alkalizing dip uses fresh peas and creamy avocado to get its hue. It’s incredibly versatile, you can even use it as a spread for appetizers.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh peas (frozen is also good)
  • 1 small avocado
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped green onions or chives
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
  • 3/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions:

  • Remove the pit from the avocado and roughly chop the flesh.
  • Combine avocado, peas, chives, lime juice, salt, and pepper. You can use a food processor with an S blade for a super fine and creamy dip, or mash it a mortar and pestle for a more chunky and rustic feel.
  • Transfer into a serving bowl and season to your taste. Add a sprinkling of chives on top for garnishing.

Did You Know?

Avocados are pretty high in alkaline value at +15.6. Peas, on the other hand, are alkaline-forming legumes.

What Is Alkaline-Forming? This is the process of forming an alkaline environment through the ingestion of certain foods. Plant-based foods such as green vegetables, peas, beans, lentils, seeds, nuts, and herbs, are alkaline-forming, and also very dense in nutrients.

2. Kale and Golden Beets Salad


Green, leafy vegetables are well-known for being perfect alkaline foods. This delightful and earthy salad makes for a light yet filling lunch, or a hardy side dish.

Salad Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch of kale with stems cut off and cut chiffonade-style
  • 4 medium-sized golden beets
  • 2 medium-sized carrots
  • 1 bell pepper (any color will do, but we prefer yellow and orange for a bright pop of color!)
  • 4 finely chopped green onions

  • 1/3 cup hemp hearts
  • A few chive sprigs chopped into 1-inch pieces

9. Nutty Protein Bars

Protein bar | Tasty Alkaline Recipes To Make At Home
These protein bars are perfectly nutty and give a big boost of energy upon consumption. Have it for breakfast, snack, or a quick energy boost while on a hiking trip.

Ingredients:

  • 1 bag wholegrain puffed kamut
  • 2 bags of mini marshmallow (vegan or non-vegan)
  • 1 cup carob chips
  • 2 scoops of vegan protein powder (we used vanilla, but you can experiment with your favorite flavors)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 cup trail mix

Instructions:

  • Pour the puffed kamut into a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, mix vanilla and almond milk.
  • Grease two separate pans with cooking spray or vegetable oil.
  • Add the almond milk mixture and protein powder in a non-stick pot and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Once the mixture comes to a boil, remove from the heat and stir in the marshmallows.
  • After the marshmallows melt, add the ingredients into the large bowl with puffed kamut.
  • Add the carob chips and gently combine (be careful as they could melt!)
  • Stir in the trail mix.
  • Pour the finished mixture into the greased pans and flatten evenly.
  • Place the pans into the freezer to set.
  • Once they set, tip the slabs onto a cutting board and slice into 16 bars. Be sure to cut them while frozen as they can become extra sticky when slightly warmer.

What Is Puffed Kamut? A high-energy grain thrice the size of modern wheat. It was discovered by the Egyptians thousands of years ago, and are a popular breakfast cereal for health buffs.

What Are Carob Chips? Also called “that other chocolate chip,” carob chips are made from the pods of the carob tree, a diminutive Mediterranean shrub. It is often used as an alternative to chocolate, but is less bitter, less rich, and has a natural sweetness.
