Ok, so if you’re a vegetarian, then this first recipe is not for you. Not to worry though, the second recipe will be. Bone broth has many potential health benefits, as you can see here:

If you’ve been checking out trends in the food world, then you’ll know that old is new again, as bone broths are all the rage right now. Kobe Bryant was prescribed it for an ankle sprain, and he and the Lakers have been eating it regularly since to heal injuries and recover faster. No longer a young player, perhaps he’ll be using that (and hopefully some acupuncture too) to heal his newly torn rotator cuff.

For vegetarians, here’s a vegetable stock, rich in minerals and very restorative.

Apple Mint Lassi
Perfect for the warmer weather we're loving in Vancouver! Cucumber, mint, apple, lemon, and yogurt are all cooling. This is also a great detox cleansing shake. Easy to make and delicious too!

Ingredients
  1. 2 cans (15.5 ounces each) black, white, or pinto beans or black-eyed peas (I used black beans)
  2. 1 cup dried breadcrumbs (I used gluten-free)
  3. 2 large eggs, lightly beaten (free range, organic preferred)
  4. 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  5. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  6. 1/2 cup prepared salsa (if you're wimpy like me, choose mild)
  7. 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  8. 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
  1. Rinse and drain the cans of beans and mash them in a bowl. They don't need to be completely mashed; some whole ones will add texture.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl.
  3. If necessary, add a little more salsa if too dry or bread crumbs if too wet.
  4. Mix until the mixture holds together but is not wet.
  5. Divide into 6 equal portions and shape into 4-inch patties.
  6. Heat coconut or grape oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Add the patties and cook, turning only once, until a crisp brown crust forms on both sides, about 6 minutes total.
  8. Top the burgers as desired.
