    Veg Soup :: For A Cold Sick Day

    This soup, I have blogged about in the past. Long ago. I have since made it even more hearty and heart-warming. 

    The most fun part of this soup is the broth. Forget the store bought stuff from the box. When you make it at home your soup will come alive. It's so easy too. And more economical. 

    Basically, you take all the extra vegetable 'throw aways' from the fridge {like the skin, stalks, ends, green tops, etc.} and put them in filtered water on the stove in a large pot with sea salt. I like to let this mixture boil. Then I like to have it simmer for hours during the day. 

    Simply strain the veg scraps out when you're about 1 hours away from dinner time.

    You don't have to, but you can add a vegan bouillon cube as well. I use Rapunzel.  

    This soup is also great if you're planning on going on a vacation or leaving your home for a few days. It's a great way to use up all your veggies.

    Then, chop up all your favorite soup veggies. Add already-cooked beans if you'd like as well. This soup isn't meant to be a stew or super hearty either. It's meant to warm your soul on a cold winter day or help feed your body when you're sick. 

    I like to keep some of the vegetables semi-raw as well, like the kale, avocado and green onions. To do this, add them last along with Omega-3 oils, and garlic. The raw garlic is spicy and can make your body feel so warm that you almost break a sweat. The omegas help keep your dry skin hydrated from the inside out during this cold dry season.

    Please see photo instructions as well below.

      The soup was amazing... I loved the idea of pouring the broth over all the raw veggies & the cooked squash it created such great texture. Dave loved it too. His exact works were "OMG this is good" followed by "MMM." Definitely adding this one to the recipe book 😉

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
