By Ross Bridgeford | Alkaline Recipes | Serves 2 | Updated May 2025
We’ve all had those days when it feels impossible to tick every nutritional box.
Potassium? Magnesium? Iron? Selenium?
Let alone all the B vitamins, fibre, vitamin C, folate, antioxidants…
That’s why I’m SO excited to bring you the Alkaline Power Bowl.
It’s not just delicious and quick to prepare — this one meal hits 85–100% or more of your RDI for 8+ essential nutrients, all from 100% alkaline, plant-based ingredients.
Honestly, I’ve never had a dish so effortlessly deliver on so many fronts: energy, immunity, digestion, mental clarity, blood sugar balance… and yes, even long-term protection against fatigue, inflammation and chronic illness.
This is more than just a recipe. It’s a nutritional game changer.
Why the Alkaline Power Bowl Works So Hard for You

Let’s delve into the superhero nutrients this dish delivers in just one serve — and why that matters so much right now:
Potassium (~3,200–3,300mg per serve)
An estimated 98% of Americans consume less than the recommended daily intake of potassium.
Potassium is essential for balancing sodium, regulating blood pressure, reducing water retention, improving energy metabolism, and supporting your nervous system.
Low potassium is linked to fatigue, muscle cramps, and hypertension — and it’s incredibly common due to processed diets and low vegetable intake.
Moreover, the potassium-to-sodium ratio is crucial for cardiovascular health. An imbalance, with high sodium and low potassium, can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
This bowl delivers 100%+ RDI for women and 85%+ for men — in one serve!
Magnesium (~555mg per serve)
Magnesium supports over 300 biochemical processes in the body, including sleep quality, energy production, muscle and nerve function, blood sugar regulation, and stress resilience.
Deficiency can lead to serious health issues such as insomnia, anxiety, high blood pressure, migraines, and insulin resistance.
This bowl gives you 132% of the RDI for men and 173% for women.
Iron (~15.7mg per serve)
Iron is vital for energy, brain clarity, hormone balance, and immune health.
Low iron is especially common in women — and can cause fatigue, low mood, poor exercise tolerance, and even hair loss.
This bowl gives men 196% of their RDI and women 87% — a rare feat for a plant-based meal.
Selenium (~74–98mcg per serve)
Selenium supports immune function, thyroid health, detoxification, and cancer prevention.
Most people eating a standard Western diet are well below the recommended intake — especially if their food comes from selenium-depleted soils.
This Alkaline Power Bowl hits 100–140% of your RDI — thanks to just one Brazil nut.
Not to Mention…
This recipe also hits your full daily needs for:
100% + Vitamin K1 – essential for bone health and heart protection
100% + Vitamin C – powerful antioxidant and immune booster
100% + Manganese – supports detoxification, collagen formation, and blood sugar balance
100% + Folate – needed for DNA repair, mood, and cellular renewal
100% + Vitamin E – skin health, antioxidant power, hormone regulation
LOADS of Fibre – feeds the gut microbiome, stabilises blood sugar, reduces inflammation
All in one bowl. All alkaline. All delicious.

This power bowl alone covers so much ground — but it’s really just the beginning.
And right now, there’s never been a more important time to focus on these nutrients.
Deficiencies in magnesium and potassium aren’t just common — they’re dangerous.
Both are deeply tied to heart health, blood pressure, inflammation, and cholesterol metabolism. In fact, studies have shown that low potassium and high sodium is one of the strongest dietary predictors of cardiovascular disease. And magnesium deficiency is linked to everything from hypertension and arrhythmia to insulin resistance and arterial stiffness.
