I’m willing to bet I’m not the only one who wants to eat like this all summer long.
If I’m not having a simple salad or soup, I don’t want to stand over the hot stove unless it’s for a quick and delicious stir-fry of light yet filling alkaline veggies with tangy and tropical lime coconut flavor.
Other than the quinoa, which you can make in a big batch in advance for lunches and dinners throughout the week, this takes about 15 minutes all in, and you’re ready for a satisfying, nutrient-packed dinner.
Eating this way will increase the elasticity of your skin, help your hair stay thick and lustrous, give you strong nails, and prevent joint damage and pain from osteoarthritis.
This recipe includes 5 different foods that include the “fountain of youth” mineral I’m going to tell you more about on Thursday.
Give it a try and let me know what you think over on Facebook.
Stir-Fry With Coconut Lime Quinoa
INGREDIENTS [Serves 4]
INGREDIENTS Quinoa
1 1/2 cup quinoa
1 lime, zested
1 15oz can of coconut milk (full fat – I use Native Forest)
1 cup water or vegetable broth
INGREDIENTS Teriyaki Sauce
1/2 cup gluten-free Tamari (or coconut aminos)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. fresh ginger, minced
INGREDIENTS Stir-Fry
2 tbsp. coconut oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tsp. fresh ginger, minced
1 small white onion, chopped
1 celery stalk, cut into chunks
1 cup green beans (or broccoli)
4 baby bok choy, chopped
1/2 cup snow peas
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
DIRECTIONS
Mix the quinoa, lime zest, coconut milk, and broth in a pot over high heat. When the broth comes to a boil, turn heat down to a simmer and cover. Cook until all the liquid has been soaked in the quinoa, about 30 minutes.
In a small saucepan, combine all the ingredients for the teriyaki sauce and simmer until reduced by half and is thick and syrupy. Remove from heat.
In a wok or large pan with sides, heat coconut oil and add garlic, ginger, and onions. Let simmer until brown. Add a little more oil if needed and toss in all of your veggies (except cilantro). Give them a good mix and cover your pan so the veggies can steam. Steam for 5-10 minutes depending on how “al dente” you want your veggies.
Scoop a large spoonful of quinoa into a bowl, add a generous helping of veggies, a spoonful of teriyaki sauce and then top with cilantro.

Kelly Ripa, who wrote the Foreword, had this to say:
“What I like most about Dr. Daryl’s method is that it’s not a ‘diet’ but more of a lifestyle change. There’s no counting calories or limiting portion sizes, only a new awareness of ‘alkaline eating.’
Once you learn the difference between alkaline and acidic ingredients, you will know what to eat and will be able to benefit from keeping this balance in your bodies.
“Whether your goal is to lose weight, sleep deeper, feel more rested, think more clearly, or boost your energy, this plan will get you there…”

Your “Get off your acid” changed my life. I’m 68 yrs. young and have spent my whole life avoiding fruits and veggies because of the carbs. Drinking mans diet and ‘dr. Atkins were my bible. I couldn’t loose weight and my psoriasis was out of control. I started this change in first week of may 2018 and of Aug. 2018 I’ve dropped 35 pounds and my psoriasis went into complete remission. My medical dr.‘s were nonplussed but who cares. I must admit after 2 months of remission, an situation of extreme stress reactivated the psoriasis but I now believe in the emotional triggers that are a component of the disease ( dis-ease) play a huge part in the process and that an alkaline diet is so curative. I’m still losing 7-10 lbs. a month and enjoying an abundance of healthy carbs. I’ve totally lost craving for fats and sugars and love eating clean..The association of acid diet and psoriasis is what got me started and your program has only enhanced it. Thank you, Marcia Clark
