Holiday Recipes to Promote Bone Health (Part 1)

Seasons greetings! 🙂 We know how important it is to keep your bones healthy, so over the next few days we will be sharing holiday recipes packed with nutrients to promote bone health. We hope you enjoy these meals that are both good and good for you! First up, cauliflower mash!

Cauliflower Mash

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp butter organic
  • Rosemary, dried
  • Himalayan sea salt
  • black pepper
  • Green onions

Instructions

  • With a hand blender, whip lightly steamed cauliflower. (If you don’t have a steamer and decide to boil your cauliflower, make sure to strain it before blending to get rid of any excess water)
  • Add the organic butter, dried (crushed) rosemary, garlic, Himalayan sea salt and pepper.
  • To make it creamier, add two tablespoons of milk. (Consider sheep’s or goat’s milk for easier digestion and nutrient absorption that have as much calcium as cow’s milk.) Make sure it’s 2% or whole milk because studies show it’s more difficult to absorb vitamin D without milk’s fat (skim milk).

Benefits

  • Cauliflower is high in calcium (22 mg per 100 grams vs 12mg per 100 grams in potatoes.)
