Since we’re getting close to the end of “Osteoporosis Prevention Week,” I wanted to give you something today that you could really take with you and use on a regular basis…

And, of course, what’s better than some great recipes!

Over the past 4-5 years, my wife Annmarie and I have been traveling around the country filming our lives as we explore natural health in the United States (and beyond!)

We’ve meet with some amazing healthy chefs and in this post, I want to highlight 3 great mineral rich, bone healthy recipes for you that you can share with your family or anyone else you think may need a little mineral boost.

Two of these recipes are quick and easy and the other is a little more involved, but totally worth the time.

So without further introduction, let’s get rolling (Be sure to read and watch all the way to the bottom since you’ll want to post a comment today)…

It’s traditionally put on beef (any cut or part imaginable) but we got a little creative and came up with a few alternative options.

If you like food… which I’m sure you do… you’ll love this raw version to this one

(I think the sauce is raw anyway as long as you don’t buy it in a bottle from the supermarket!)

Here’s the recipe with ingredients…

Raw Chimichurri Sauce

• 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
• 1/3 Cup Water
• 1/3 Cup Lemon Juice
• 1-2 Cloves Garlic
• 3-4 Tbsp Parsley
• 1 Tbsp Basil
• 1 Tomato
• 1 Scallion
• 1 Tsp Salt
• 1/2 Tsp Cayanne
• 1/2 Tsp Ground Cumin
• 1/2 Tsp Ground Paprika

Prep…
Put everything in a blender. Blend lightly until it turns into a smooth paste. Cover and wait 2 hours at room temperature (we put it in the fridge!) before serving.

Your question of the day: What should we serve this raw chimichurri sauce on?

We thought marinated (or grilled) portobella mushrooms would be great and of course it was awesome on the cucumber. What do you think?
