Seaweed Rolls with Cashew Nut Spread

The first time I tasted these incredibly delicious seaweed rolls was at Leafy Greens Cafe in Muldersdrift.  To make my version of  these yummy rolls you are going to need a packet of 10 Nori Sushi Sheets. 

- Easy Broccoli Salad -

Broccoli florets (1 head)
1/2 - 1 cup vegan mayonnaise (Crosse & Blackwell Trim mayonnaise) according to taste
1/3 cup almond flakes
1/3 cup Organic shelled hemp seeds (optional)
vegan cheese shavings (Vegusto No-Moo Mildly-Aromatic or Piqant)
A handful of chopped pistachio nuts to garnish

Steam the broccoli florets for a few minutes - they must still be firm and bright green. Mix the mayonnaise, almond flakes and hemp seeds (a wonderful complete protein) together and stir into the broccoli. Garnish with cheese shavings and chopped pistachio nuts. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Note: Vegusto vegan cheeses are available at Shoprite Checkers in South Africa. The Organic hemp seeds are available from health shops - I use the Superfoods brand.

How to get your body’s PH more alkaline.

The reason why we have to try and get the PH in our bodies more alkaline is because the western diet is acid-producing. As explained in the Rawlicious recipe book, when the body is too acidic the red blood cells clump together and oxygen cannot get to all the cells.

By alkalizing the blood, the red blood cells can flow freely and deliver oxygen to all the cells in your body. Aches and pains, tiredness, lack of concentration are all symptoms of a too acidic body. All acidic food is not unhealthy and one needs the nutrients. An alkaline intake between 50% and 80% is a good way to get the acid-alkaline body correct.

The easiest and most effective way to get more alkaline:

1.  is to eat and drink more alkaline foods. Broccoli, baby spinach, lettuce, asparagus, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, avocados, apples, lemons, limes, celery, cucumbers, dates and figs are all examples. Try to purchase organic fruit and vegetables, otherwise make sure that it is properly washed or peeled to avoid toxic pesticides.
2. drink green vegetable juices. The juice I make my family on a regular basis is in the July archive called Carrot, Beetroot, Apple and Ginger Juice. The Rawlicious recipe book has a variety of different alkalizing juices
3. drink greens drinks like Barley and Wheat grass twice a day to boost your alkalinity. These are available in dried and fresh form. The Real Thing has a great variety of greens and is available at Dischem and healthstores like Weleda and Fruits and Roots.
