Mama Ghanoush Premium PD Recipe

2018-08-21

This Lebanese Protective Diet remake will take summer’s zucchini harvest out of your sweetbreads and reserve them for this savory specialty. Mama Ghanoush is made mainly of roasted zucchini. When I scoop it up with veggies, I say I’m having veggies with my veggies. It’s made just like Baba Ghanoush, without the sometimes hard-to-find eggplant. Serve as a dip or as a sandwich spread, just like hummus. It’s traditionally made with roasted zucchini, yogurt, oil and tahini. I have replicated the creamy original, replacing the oil and fat with protective slimming ingredients, complete with grilling directions to keep the kitchen cool in the summer when zucchini are in season. Since this is one of the best dishes I’ve ever had on a Protective Diet, I’ve included oven-roasting directions for year-round deliciousness.

    What about combining zucchini and eggplant. I bet it would be a winner.

I began my PD journey March 1, 2014. It all started because my FB friend posted a food picture from Julie’s website protectivediet.com. Since starting protective diet, I have lost a total of 62 lbs in a little over 9 months! I didn’t really have any health problems before starting my new plant based diet… Read more or comment “Barb B”

Protective Diet changed my life!

December 2, 2013 was the day I changed my life. I found Protective Diet the night before after someone in another plant based group mentioned the name. After going to the website and reading the details, I just knew it was for me! My highest weight, 371 here and my current weight Mid August, 2016.… Read more or comment “Protective Diet changed my life!”

30 Day Detox

So excited to say I’ve now completed my 30-day detox and lost 8.8lbs which for me is AMAZING! I was so hesitant stepping on my scale this morning because I’m so used to not losing a thing but I was so happy to see that scale with that loss😊. Now to put it away for… Read more or comment “30 Day Detox”
