Sipping on Soup n’ Pudding
Time for something savory. Raw soup makes the perfect light meal - mostly water, full of nutrients, and low in calories, yet filling. Here are a few yummy ones I've enjoyed lately.
Green Herb Soup
1 cup spinach
1 large stalk celery
1 handful fresh cilantro
1 handful fresh parsley
1 handful fresh dill
1-2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 avocado
1/2 clove garlic
Pinch cayenne
Salt, to taste
Hot water
Blend all ingredients until smooth. Adjust seasonings. I usually omit the salt and rip nori into my soups.
Tomato Basil Soup
1 large tomato
1/2 red bell pepper
1/4 avocado
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 clove garlic
1/4 tsp paprika
Himalayan salt, to taste
Handful fresh basil
Hot water
Blend all but the basil, until smooth and cr
eamy, starting with a bit of water and adding enough to achieve desired consistency. Pulse in the basil. Serve.
Keeping in the savory realm for another second, I'm excited to report that two of my recipes have made it onto the Crazy Sexy Life website this week, Here and Here! If you haven't already checked out their site, it's full of inspiration and great ideas!
I've been enjoying lots of puddings/ice cream lately too!
Rewinding a bit, I made this Chaga Superfood Ice Cream before Christmas. It's fun to eat medicinal treats like this!
1 3/4 cup chilled chaga tea
2 cups cashews
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup vanilla liquid
1 tablespoon hemp seed
1 tablespoon lucuma
2 teaspoons maca
1 teaspoon mesquite
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Blend all ingredients until smooth. Chill.
Process through an ice cream maker.
Stir in mulberries/goji berries.
Banana Superfood Pudding
This soft treat was supposed to be ice cream, but it didn't have the proper time to re-freeze before we wanted to dive in.
It's a delicious blend of: frozen bananas, cashews, vanilla bean, lucuma, maca, and mesquite... sprinkled with cacao nibs, sprouted, dehydrated buckwheat and pecans.
Goji Chia Pudding
Here's a yummy chia pudding that Adam whipped up last week.
It's a combo of chia seed and goji berries soaked in water. Half of the mixture was then blended (giving it the orange colour) and combined with the addition of maple syrup, cacao nibs, hemp seeds, and more goji berries.
More blends coming up soon - as a matter of fact, I'll be teaching a class tomorrow on easy blender recipes.
Have a great weekend!
