Alkaline Diet Recipe: Dr. Daryl's Raw Marinara Sauce

Last time, when I shared the 9 easiest ways to get your kids to love eating alkaline, I teased my recipe for raw marinara sauce, which packs an alkaline punch. But it’s so tasty, your kids won’t even realize it’s nutritious!

 Even without kids, this recipe is a great way to sneak in some extra leafy greens plus alkaline veggies and herbs into your tomato sauce. And since it’s super easy to make, I have a feeling you won’t be relying on the store-bought variety anymore.

 Did you know that the average store-bought tomato sauce contains 9 to 11 grams of sugar per half cup serving?

 That’s the same amount as your average sugar cookie! That’s far too much sugar for a food that doesn’t need any added sugar to taste delicious.

 Give it a try and let me know what you think over on Facebook.

 Dr. Daryl's Raw Marinara Sauce

INGREDIENTS 

3 medium tomatoes

2 cups of spinach

1/2 cup basil leaves (loose)

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes

1/4 cup red onion, chopped

2 tbsp. fresh oregano, chopped

1 tbsp. lemon juice, fresh squeezed

1 large clove garlic, minced

1 tsp. sea salt (Celtic Grey, Himalayan, or Redmond Real Salt)

1 tsp. black pepper

Optional: 1 tbsp. of any of the following: Rosemary, sage, or tarragon, chopped

DIRECTIONS

For a smooth sauce, place all contents in the blender and blend until smooth. For a ‘chunky’ sauce, set 2 tomatoes and the herbs aside. Blend everything else until smooth and creamy. Now place the contents in a food processor and add the 2 tomatoes and herbs. Pulse the ingredients together, leaving the sauce a bit chunky.

Spread on your favorite veggie noodles and enjoy!
