‘Dress Up’ Alkalizing Veggies With These 7 Delicious Toppings

Let’s face it…plain steamed vegetables can get a bit tiresome. Yes, they’re super bone-healthy and powerfully alkalizing, so why not dress them up a bit?

Alkalizing vegetables are a very important part of the Osteoporosis Reversal Program, which is why so many are included in the Program’s extensive list of Foundation Foods. Eating them should not be drudgery. With today’s delicious seven ideas, you’ll never find veggies boring again!

7 toppings That Add Scrumptious Flavor And Bone-Healthy Nutrients To Boring Vegetables

Savers will notice right away that not all of these toppings are 100% alkalizing. But that’s okay, because these recipes are for 2 pounds of alkalizing steamed vegetables. Thus, the resulting dish will still be pH-balanced.

Simply mix these ingredients together and store in an airtight container in the fridge, or use right away.

Now on to the recipes!

1. Almond-Basil

• 1/2 cup chopped or slivered almonds
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped basil (preferably fresh, but you can substitute 2 teaspoons dried)

2. Tahini-Chives-Garlic

• 1/2 cup tahini

Adding Flavor Adds Motivation

When you get started on the Osteoporosis Reversal Program, sticking to a pH-balanced diet may seem a bit overwhelming or tedious, which is why including flavor-packed additions is so helpful. I’m sure you’ll agree with me: when your meals are full of color, flavor, and creative recipes, it’s much easier to enjoy being on the Program and stay motivated to build your bones without taking osteoporosis drugs.

In fact, the idea that pH-balanced food should be enjoyable as well as nutritious was one of my primary inspirations for writing Bone Appétit, the Save Our Bones cookbook. Because I really want to see you succeed in reaching your goal to better bone health.

To help further your success, I’ve also included the 30 Day Meal Planner as a free bonus when you order Bone Appétit. The Planner includes tips and ideas to get the most bone-building benefit from your daily eating habits, and it also provides a guideline for 30 days’ worth of meals that nourish your bones and taste fantastic.

There’s no need to experience pH-balanced boredom!
