In this video, let's look at alkaline vegan swap. So what I mean by that is swapping acidic, non vegan, standard Western standard American diet foods for alkaline and vegan swaps healthier foods. So, first thing is milk standard cow's milk for coconut or almond milk. cow's milk is full of past blood and hormones to put it bluntly, make your own almond milk easily and cheaply see the recipe in the recipe section that I've given you can also buy in supermarkets, but it's so easy and cheap to make at home. Coconut milk is very low calorie and tastes great with cereal and porridge you can buy this in your local supermarket. Okay second thing cheese on nutritional yeast.

Nutritional yeast as an alternative to standard cheese has a Nazi cheesy flavor without any of the, again the hormones it's not gonna be mineralize your bones by having to break down the casein which is the indigestible enzyme that we cannot break down without. Sorry, indigestible protein cannot break down at the enzyme rennet. So I'm swapping it for nutritional yeast is a great way to have that cheesy flavor without the downsides of cheese and the saturated fat as well. It's cheap and it lasts a long time. It's in a powdered form like you can see here. It's really great in sources and on oatcakes, lowing fat contains B vitamins including b 12.

If you buy the fortified version. Okay, next thing ice cream so standard ice cream, vanilla chocolate whatever flavor cookie and cream for frozen banana ice cream. No this is Yeah, this is unbelievably delicious. If you not try this before. So what you do is you use overripe bananas brown and spotty bananas, you freeze them, you peel them first and freeze them, cut them into pieces or if you've got a high speed blender, you then just stick them in a blender hole and blend them to make a delicious and creamy dairy free and low fat ice cream. If you have just this one ingredient on its own bananas, you will make a delicious ice cream but you can also make other flavors.

You can add berries or chocolate for different flavors. Very delicious cheap. I can buy six bananas for 99 pence which is about $1 40 wait for them to to ripen the bananas and then freeze them blend them so it's yes cheap makes a good amount that will last for a while. I typically use about three bananas to make a portion of ice cream. Easy to make with a high speed high speed blender like a Vitamix or a free report. So as long as you chop the banana fast swapping butter or vegetable oil for coconut oil, butter is full of artery clogging animal saturated fat, vegetable and olive oil are not stable to cook with when you heat them they can hydrogenated because then non SAP or unsaturated fats, then they will hydrogenated upon high heat, which is very, very unhealthy it basically produce the kind of plastic in your body which is hard to break down and is very, very unhealthy.

Hydrated fat has been banned in many countries. So you take you know, a lot of people think that olive oil is really healthy, okay in small quantities to drizzle on salads and things cold, but you don't want to be heating and cooking with vegetable oil olive oil. Coconut oil, however, is a great stable because it's a saturated fat, but it's a healthy saturated fat for baking and cooking. tastes great. Okay, next thing chocolate mousse you want to swap for chocolate avocado pudding. You can see here now this is amazing you can make it easily from a few simple and healthy ingredients.

The recipe is in the recipe section. Very decadent and tastes amazing. You get this thick, dense pudding really chocolatey really decadent. I served this to friends and family and they thought it had double cream lots and lots of chocolate in it and yeah, they were shocked to find out that it was made with avocados. impress your friends they will love it. Next thing milk chocolate, you will swap that for high cocoa so like 70 or 80% cocoa, dark chocolate.

It's much much higher in antioxidants and magnesium than milk chocolate. less sugar, typically, no dairy and therefore no hormones and paths from the blood. Sorry, from the milk Possible how to add hormones in the milk and I'm sorry to be kind of graphic and flippant about that but that is the reality if you're having dairy products, it's dairy milk is homogenized and it is allowed something like a million plus cells per millimeter of milk. milliliter. Sorry. So, do you really want to be drinking that?

I certainly don't. So, yeah, getting rid of the dairy is, is is quite a priority you should be thinking of. So having high cocoa dark chocolate just gets around the whole problem. If you love chocolate on eating alkaline. Raw chocolate is even better, more expensive, but you can make it at home. I've enjoyed making more chocolate quite a few times.

The only thing is it doesn't last long. Yeah. If you're tempted like I am to eat, you know, when you make things you eat the whole batch of it, then I would steer clear of making it home but you can buy more chocolate and it's absolutely divine. So instead of egg We weren't going to use flaxseed meal or tofu. So you replace an egg in baking with one tablespoon of ground flaxseed, mixed with three tablespoons of water as you can see in the image at the bottom here. And that's a really good egg replacer in baking job done easy so you can still bake cake because 30 pancakes and things using flax meal, which is super healthy, high in omega three really good for you.

Yes, so this is fantastic replacer it binds the ingredients together. You can scramble tofu like eggs. So the top picture here is scrambled tofu. So if you like scrambled eggs or swap it for tofu, so there's no saturated fat in either of these, and it won't adversely affect your cholesterol levels like x well. French fries. So you know french fries are a standard staple of most people in the West.

I love them. Most people love them, but they're very friendly. Healthy so we're going to be swapping them for oven chips or roast potatoes. French fries or chips are very unhealthy due to the deep frying of them and the hydrogenated fat that I mentioned earlier when you fry things in vegetable hydrogenated and typically especially if you buy fries in fast food outlets, they're using that oil over and over again and it's hydrogenated more and more and more to the point where I've seen fast food restaurants throw out their oil and it's literally gone hard like a plastic you don't want that hanging around your body those oils. So the potatoes are healthy. So this is a case of don't throw the baby out with the bathwater Tito's a super healthy and they're delicious and they're satisfying.

So instead we're going to often roast them in coconut oil, or Yeah, cut them into little chips and put a tiny amount of coconut oil over them. So we're talking like half a half a tablespoon or a teaspoon of oil and then roast them so oven Make them again see my simple recipe in the recipe section for profit, alkaline rose potatoes, white sugar, we're going to be swapping for coconut sugar or a Garvey syrup. coconut sugar is unrefined from the coconut tree, so it still has some nutrients in it. A GAVI excuse me a guava nectar is from a cactus so both a low glycemic index and tastes great and still have some nutrients in them so much better for you than then refined white sugar with devoid of all nutrients and sometimes we'll have chemical byproducts in them. So instead of me, I suggest having tofu say tan, yep, could say our explain what that is.

Potatoes or pulses. So no animal saturated fat in any of these hormones or genetically modified by products, especially if you buy organic So these the all these things are well tofu Satan and pulses are rich and protein low. In fact, say tan is made from wheat basically it's it's the kind of wheat protein and it has a very meaty consistency you you can be fooled by this I've been in a vegan restaurant before and had a Satan in my Thai meal when I was over in Thailand at the Fruit Festival a couple of years ago. And I was convinced that this data was meat if that we all were we had to ask the restaurant and they they showed us what it was so yeah, it's very tasty. Cheap you can make it easily at home. Yeah, if you've got a wheat intolerance then Okay, maybe skip this, but um give it a try.

Give it a try. See? See how you find it. lentils chickpeas and potatoes are fantastic meat replaces and curry soups, casseroles. So, you know my experience and many, many people I've worked with it. Their experience has been if they Previously liked having something you know a bit more meaty, obviously, in your meals than potatoes, pulses, chickpeas, a really good way to replace that and get that so satisfying bulk.

Next thing is biscuit so you should replace biscuits with oat cakes. Okay, so lowering fats, they're low GI, high fiber, nutritious and contain no refined sugar. They're great on their own. They're great with hummus or any other kind of dip. And they're great dunked in tea. Plus, they're very cheap as well.

I can buy packs of oak capes, I think five packs of oatcakes for a pound which is yes, brilliantly cheap. One pack typically has around a pack of six small oatcakes typically has around 300 calories. So this is a great on the go mini meal. I find if I'm out and about if I'm between meetings with clients or I'm just finished the gym and I'm going to meet someone And then I'll take a pack of oak cakes that's a great go to on the go kind of snack or mini meal. Granola in a swap the standard granola for alkaline porridge, alkaline porridge, you can use coconut or almond milk use rough oats and coconut sugar or GAVI nectar, simple three ingredients heats it up job done. Don't use a microwave use the hub.

Low GI is low fat, no hormones are passed from the cow's milk and tastes it basically taste the same standard porridge you would never know that it's a vegan alkaline alternative coffee and tea. So you should swap those for horrible coffees and herbal teas. So the best tea choices, I would say are caffeine free such as peppermint, chamomile, licorice, red bush. These are teas that I have on a day to day basis. And that you can get some really flavor for herbal and alkaline coffee nowadays. 10 years ago.

Part of was getting into this and looking for coffee alternatives. You basically had a barley or chicory based product and they weren't that good. Now products like t Chino, they are really full of body really full of flavor and yet amazing coffee alternatives. And finally, wind will actually do two things here to replace alcohol, wine or cider you're going to replace with kombucha. Now I've got my own unique, unique way of producing a lovely alternative to an alcoholic drink with kombucha so it can be true as a fermented tea and you want to add some computer form. Cordell I prefer to buy the bottles of audio and then buy my own sparkling water because you can make much more a much cheaper cost than buying a 750 milliliter bottle of kombucha.

But you can do it that way. You can basically buy like a one bottle kind of yeah size of kombucha which is already sparkling but it works out more expensive. So I tend to buy the core do add it with sparkling water and a dash of apple cider vinegar for a really wonderful crisp and refreshing alternative to alcoholic drinks great on a summer's evening. It's not overly acidic. In fact it's yes slightly alkaline. Maybe the sparkling water that okay that does acidify a bit but it's it's basically it's you know it's not acidic like beer and and wine is it won't give you a hangover obviously it's alcohol free plus it's very low calorie.

It's great for your stomach Flora to your your good bacteria it the the fermented the ferment from it and so the fermentation of the computer is really good for your intestines and will just promote that good bacteria in your stomach. So the final one is swapping bear for not putting Bear, which is kind of is that our client? Well, it's not probably not our client as such, but it's a healthier alternative. It is healthier. It's less acidic than alcoholic beer, nor percent beer, it tastes almost as good as regular beer. I really think so especially some, you know, try different brands, but things like San Miguel and Bavaria here are amazing alternatives to normal beer.

And you can drink a few and not get drunk. Obviously, if you're dry, you know, you can drive on it. Again, very low calorie, typically less than 50 calories for small bottles. If you have three or four bottles, it's still 200 calories, you're not going to get bare belly. You're not going to feel hungover The next day, your skin's not going to go really bad because of the dehydration and acetate is created in your stomach for drinking alcohol. So yeah, a really good alternative to beer if you love beer.

And it's great for parties and dinners. So that's a list of Have a few different vegan swaps. I've generated this list over years this is my kind of your cheat sheet for being able to live in the real world by swapping unhealthy things for more healthy things. So please, yeah, I you know, I'm happy to share this with you embrace it, try it and you'll be able to see that it's it's easy to live alkaline and vegan and still enjoy the things that used to love and enjoy before
