Alkaline Diet Recipe: Ginger Cinnamon Fruit with Sweet Tahini Dip

Printer Friendly Version


This is one of my most favorite alkaline desert dishes.  A mix of sweet and savory, this is not only filling, but ultra-satisfying.  The cinnamon, coconut oil, and almond butter will neutralize and slow down the metabolism of any natural sugars in the fruits.

What is Tahini?

Tahini is sesame seed butter, similar to almond butter with many healthy benefits. It is a creamy, oily, and smooth nut butter rich in calcium. You can find fresh tahini in your local health food store and most grocery stores, usually in the refrigerator section next to the hummus.  Here are some amazing health benefits:

  • It's rich in minerals such as phosphorus, lecithin, magnesium, potassium and iron.
  • It's a good source of Methionine, which aids in liver detoxification.
  • It's one of the best sources of calcium out there.
  • It's high in vitamin E and vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5 and B15.

This is one of my favorite sweet alkaline dips that you can add to any fruit. This is one healthy desert that even your kids will enjoy!
