Alkaline Cleanse: 100 Recipes to Cleanse and Nourish

Alkaline Cleanse: 100 Recipes to Cleanse and Nourish by Natasha Corrett, a vegetarian chef and wellness-focused cookbook author, is a collection of more than 100 plant-forward recipes built around the principles of the alkaline diet. Published in 2016, the book emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and other minimally processed foods while limiting ingredients such as meat, dairy, wheat, and refined sugar.

Corrett organizes the book around four structured eating plans, ranging from a short weekend program featuring juices, smoothies, and soups to a six-day plan, a higher-protein program, and a 28-day approach intended to transition readers toward longer-term habits. Recipes span breakfasts, entrées, snacks, drinks, and sweet treats, offering a variety of ways to incorporate more vegetable-rich and whole-food meals into everyday cooking.

While the book frames its recipes around the concept of “alkalizing” the body, the body tightly regulates blood pH through the lungs and kidneys, and diet does not meaningfully change blood pH in healthy people. Viewed primarily as a cookbook, Alkaline Cleanse is especially appealing for vegetarian and plant-forward cooks, smoothie and whole-food enthusiasts, and readers looking for a structured collection of produce-centered recipes.
