Recent researches are showing the power of following a plant based diet, to support bone and overall health, plants are full of not only crucial vitamins for your health but the minerals too your bones and body needs, I’m personally not a vegan, nor a vegetarian, as I believe in a varied diet, that will supply you with all the Macro & Micro nutrients you need, I’ve also come a long way healing my body, so am able to eat most foods, however this may not be the case for everyone, and for some individuals, its advisable to follow a plant based diet, this recipe is not only nutritious, but can also be eaten by most people, if you are vegan, you can replace the ghee I’m using here with coconut oil.
