As part of the Save Our Bones community, you may have already heard me speak of the late Dr. Robert Salter and how I was honored to have received his enthusiastic endorsement of my work.

To this day, I’m convinced that it’s his endorsement that continues to encourage doctors and scientists in the mainstream to come over to “our side” and embrace the truth about osteoporosis.

I say this because Dr. Salter was a giant in the field of Orthopedic surgery. He literally “wrote the book” on that subject. His “Textbook of Disorders and Injuries of the Musculoskeletal System” is used in medical schools around the world and has been translated into six languages.

So I am really humbled to say that I truly considered him a friend and mentor.

Today, I wish to share with you an easy-to-make recipe that my dear friend Robina, the wife of Dr. Salter, gave me not too long ago.

A Cool Bone-Smart Treat

It’s getting hot outside. As the mercury rises, so does our appetite for cool and creamy treats. If you’re on the Osteoporosis Reversal Program, you know that regular ice cream is not the preferred choice, since it contains milk.

But really caring about your bones doesn’t mean that you have to miss out on the cool goodness of ice cream, especially in the summer.

Here’s the recipe:

Summer Day Delight

4 servings

Ingredients

• 4 very ripe bananas
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa (optional)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Beat all the ingredients just enough to blend together.

2. Freeze for 1 to 11/2 hours before serving.

3. Garnish with fresh strawberries or your favorite berries.

Enjoy!
