Kangaroo Stew
We chose Kangaroo because the nutritional profile is amazing. It is much higher in protein and the good Omega-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, B-12 and other nutrients over other game meats and certainly over livestock meats. But if you can’t find “roo” then make this with any grass fed meats such as lamb, bison, elk, boar, venison etc. Substitute what you enjoy but aim for the best quality, cleanest protein you can afford.
The next secret to this stew is to add as much variety of color from vegetables and to use twice as many veggies as meat so you end up with a product that is more ph balanced. Meats by their nature are more acidic and veggies by nature are more alkaline. When combined in a stew you end up with a meal that will help to support your body’s ideal ph range.
Have fun putting this together and make sure to give gratitude before you take that first bite. Digestion is always better when we eat with gratitude!
