3 hidden alkalizing veggies

I love plain, simply-prepared vegetables. But I realize that if I don’t get a little creative in the kitchen, my family and I will end up getting bored with the same foods.

That’s why I’m always on the lookout for new ways to make bone-healthy foods interesting and delicious.

So today, I am thrilled to share with you my latest finds: three recipes for delectable bone-building treats that include “hidden” alkalizing vegetables.

And if you have grandchildren in your life, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that they’re eating healthy treats (and they will love them!).

Here Are The 3 Recipes

1. “Rice” Pudding

This versatile dish does not actually include any acidifying rice – it uses cauliflower instead! It’s excellent for breakfast or even dessert.

4 Servings
pH-balanced

Ingredients:

  • 1 small (about 1/2 pound) cauliflower
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk, divided
  • 1½ tablespoons brown sugar (add stevia to taste if you like it sweeter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup pureed avocado

Directions:

  1. Cut cauliflower into half-inch florets to measure out 1/2 cup. Pulse in a food processor or blender until its texture resembles rice.
  2. Place cauliflower in a medium saucepan. Add 1/4 cup coconut milk, brown sugar, stevia, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Gently bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer for a few minutes. Let stand 15 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks and remaining 1/4 cup coconut milk until well mixed and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes by hand or 1 minute with an electric mixer. Set aside.
  4. Pour almond milk into a large saucepan over medium heat and add the avocado purée. Stir constantly until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  5. Add cauliflower and egg mixtures and stir constantly until thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour into 4 small ramekins or pudding dishes and refrigerate 1 to 3 hours before serving.

2. Purple Cupcakes

These treats are perfect for Valentine’s Day! Of course, they make a delicious bone-healthy snack or dessert any time.
