Food For Fuel - it's really that easy

Modern diets are a major contributor to acidity in the body as they contain more acid producing foods, this in turn makes you feel sluggish, and slow, it makes your mental clarity cloudy and doesn't give you the best start to your day or give you the best advantages in life.

Alkalise your body, be the BEST you can, I recommend: 

Daily
   Eat at least 6 serves of seasonal vegetables
   Eat 2 serves of fresh fruit in a variety of colours
   Eat 3 serves of protein including fish, eggs, lean meat & legumes
   Include 2-4 serves of raw nuts, seeds & cold pressed oils
   Limit grains & dairy products as these are acid forming
   Drink at least 2 litres of  filtered water

It really is that EASY - Life is really simple if you get rid of the crap blocking your was including the acid fuelling food. Eat right and get the most out of LIFE

Delicious and Nutritious Quinoa


This is one of my favorite lunches, it fills me up, it's tasty, it's easy to eat; 
- My Quinoa Dish.

  • gluten free

  • high in fibre

  • easy to digest

  • dairy free

  • high in B vitamins

  • grounding

  • nourishing
  • delicious
Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is an ancient grain, it's protein-packed, gluten free, full of vitamins and minerals. Yes, this is yet another SUPERFOOD. Quinoa cooks in 15 minutes and you can tell when it's done because the seeds show a little white thread that curls up inside, you could even say some of it looks clear. If I have time and am being a health nut – I soak my quinoa (as with all grains, soaking grains removes the phytic acid build up).

Ingredients: Serves 4

1 cup of Quinoa
2 cups of water
Goats feta
Zucchini/Squash
Capsicum
Asparagus
Salt – Himalayan Pink Salk
Coconut oil

Preparation:
Cook the amount of quinoa in double the amount of water, you can even cook it in stock if you have some available. It takes about 15 mins til it’s soft and clear.
Add the coconut oil to a fry pan til melted and then add the Zucchini, Capsicum, Asparagus mix til soft/browned(!) – you know what I mean – add the quinoa and some salt. I then add the feta, serve, eat sitting down and enjoy the flavours.

It’s simple, yet delicious and nutritious.
