If you want to give your digestive system a break, feed your body only with natural, vital and nutrient-rich greens then this soup is right for you. I created it for my detox program.

2 gloves of garlic, diced

A few branches of green kale, cut the stem off

A few leaves savoy, cut the stem off

Vegetable broth, yeast-free 1.5 liter 3 cubes

Half a head cauliflower, picked in small pieces

Why do we LOVE artichokes?

Therefore:
Loaded with nutrients
Lower LDL and increase HDL cholesterol
Regulate blood pressure
Improve liver health
Improve digestive health
Help lower blood sugar

Cut the ends and take the hard leaves of. Boil plenty of water, add salt, slices of 1 lemon and the artichokes. If you use a pressure cooker they will be cooked in 10min. In a normal pot the cooking time is about 30-45min. Enjoy with a homemade avocado dip.

My two favorite colors are green & pink. Both are the colors of the heart chakra.

4th Chakra – Anahata – Heart. Pink is the color of universal love. Emotional love of self and others , friendship, affection, harmony, inner peace, has both fire and air element … In general, pink stones are calming, soothing, relaxing.

Dark green leafy vegetables are an excellent source of fiber, folate, and carotenoids. These vegetables also contain vitamins C and K and the minerals iron and calcium. In addition, dark green leafy vegetables act as antioxidants in the body.

Antioxidants for heart health!

When buying natural food check if it is still alive and vital. Like this cauliflower. The leaves are still protecting the veggie. They are wrapped around tight – a sign that this one has been harvested just recently.

This assures that all of the nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, pantothenic acid vitamin B6, choline, dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, manganese, phosphorus and biotin are still there to nurture you.

If you are living a lectin- or gluten-free lifestyle, if you try to eat less grains or if you simply do not like rice then try the cauliflower “rice” as alternative option. Look it up!

Do you remember the times when your mom was serving you strawberry milk? We as kids loved it since it was creamy and fruity, fresh and sweet. Unfortunately our moms did not know better back in the days … the smoothie was made of cow milk with lots of sugar.

I learnt to refuse dairy products in a very early stage. Call it intuition or instinctive knowledge. Kids do know whats best for them! They are mostly listening to their gut feelings if we only let them. They know when they lack on proteins, fats, carbs, minerals or vitamins and they instinctively choose the right food.
