Today, I’m bringing you a full 3-course menu for Valentine’s Day to enjoy with that special someone.
Sure, you could go out to eat, as long as you have had reservations for months, and you’re willing to eat overpriced food from a set menu that’s not worth the hype.
But I know I’d prefer a romantic dinner in, where I can enjoy cooking together as I catch up with my love. Surprise someone you love with this tasty meal that says you care about their health and well-being.
Here is a great 3-course alkaline menu you can enjoy on February 14th or any night! Start off the night with a delicious Watercress Grapefruit Salad. It’s a super flavorful, herbaceous salad that will break you out of the routine of basic greens.
Next, the main course is a Cozy Winter Pasta that uses either kelp noodles or zucchini noodles. It cooks up in minutes so you can enjoy more quality time together.
Finally, indulge with decadent Raw Gluten Free Brownies. Warning: you might become addicted to this recipe. But that’s okay! It’s completely sugar-free, dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free, and alkaline.
Enjoy and happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at Alkamind!

COZY WINTER PASTA
Ingredients (serves 4)
1 medium head of broccoli
3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil

While broccoli cooks, heat 2 tbsp. of oil in a sauté pan and cook leeks until soft, about 8 minutes. Drain the kelp noodles and add to the leeks. Cook for another 7 to 8 minutes. Combine the broccoli and zoodles, if using, to the pan. Add parsley, rosemary, sea salt, and pepper. For added protein you can add a can of garbanzo beans.
