When you first start learning about the alkaline diet and familiarizing yourself with alkaline food that is particularly alkaline within the body, you may feel like you must get rid of all your favorite meals just to be healthy.

Fortunately, there are some truly delectable types of alkaline food that can be used in a wide variety of ways to recreate your favorite acidic meals.

Potatoes

Potatoes are essential to an alkaline diet on account of the fact that they can be cooked and utilized in such a wide variety of ways. They can be sliced or diced and baked or fried or mashed into a creamy whip. Whether you whip them to create mashed potatoes or bake them in the skin, potatoes can be made into a wide variety of dishes. Sliced potato can also be used lined up in a casserole to mimic lasagna noodles.

Mixed Greens

Most grocery stores stock convenient containers of mixed greens, making it fast to eat alkaline when you’re pressed for time. Add them to omelets and other hot dishes and they will cook down to add flavor and texture. For a visually appealing touch, add a few greens on your plate, or simply make them the basis of a fresh salad.

Fresh Fruits

I think of fruits as one general alkaline food, since they can all be interchanged and used according to the mood of your taste buds or the season. This is one of the secrets to eating healthful alkaline food, due to the fact that you can combine different fruits to form fresh fruit salad, or use frozen fruits to create nourishing smoothies in minutes.

This alkaline food can even be used to soothe your cravings for sweets that are particularly acidic inside the body. For example, make a nutritious strawberry smoothie by mixing frozen strawberries with rice milk, rather than having a sugary pastry! Not only will it eliminate the craving but it will give you plenty of energy and keep you thinner as well.
