baby it's cold outside: eat your greens detox soup by oh she glows

2/17/2019

You can use any of your favourite vegetables, but the recipe below makes a damn good soup. Once again I swear by Oh She Glows - Here is a perfect meal prep for Vancouver Weather.

Ingredients

1½ teaspoons (7 mL) coconut oil or olive oil
1 sweet onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups (750 mL) sliced cremini or white button mushrooms (about 8 ounces)
1 cup (250 mL) chopped carrots
2 cups (500 mL) chopped broccoli florets
Fine-grain sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1½ to 3 teaspoons (7 to 15 mL) grated peeled fresh ginger
½ teaspoon (2 mL) ground turmeric
2 teaspoons (10 mL) ground cumin
⅛ teaspoon (0.5 mL) ground cinnamon
8 cups vegetable broth (she only calls for 5 cups but I am obsessed with broth, and this is my website, so.....)
2 large nori seaweed sheets , cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) strips (optional) Just rip it up
2 cups (500 mL) torn kale leaves (I used frozen kale)
Fresh lemon juice, for serving (optional)

Directions

In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent.
Add the mushrooms, carrots and broccoli and stir to combine. Season generously with salt and pepper and sauté for 5 minutes more.
Stir in the ginger, turmeric, cumin, and cinnamon and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the vegetables are tender, 10 to 20 minutes.
Just before serving, stir in the nori (if using) and kale and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired.

OMG yes - Oh she glows chia powder doughnuts

You're all welcome: REAL ingredients packed with antioxidants, omega-3 ftty acids, protein and my favourite morning ingredient FIBER. No fear if you don't have 'doughnut tins' just use a muffin tray :)

Recipe
Makes about 6 donuts
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 22 to 26 minutes

Ingredients
3/4 cup oat flour (quick oats blended into powder works!)
1/2 cup chia seeds
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup maple syrup (or less if your trainer wants you off sugar ;) )
1/3 cup Unsweetened Vanilla (always) non-dairy milk
1 teaspoon vanilla (real shit mmmkay)

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease your donut (or muffin) pan with oil (I used Trader Joes coconut oil spray).

2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, chia seeds, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.

3. Add the maple syrup, milk, and vanilla and stir until combined. The batter will be pretty runny so no worries.

4. Spoon the batter into the pan, filling each cavity to the top.

5. Bake the donuts for 22 to 26 minutes, until firm to the touch.

6. Cool the donuts in the pan for about 10 minutes and then they should pop right out. Allow them to cool completely (quite honestly though I ate mine as soon as they came out of the oven, I simply could not resist)

In the Oh She Glows Recipe, Angela includes a Coconut-Lemon Whipped Cream recipe to drizzle over top but that's just adding more sugar which isn't good for us (especially in the morning. We don't need to spike out glycemic levels as soon as our body wakes up, come on no, at least wait until post-lunch, haha.)

I have mine with anything from peanut butter to jam to plain as they don't need much as they are super amazing.

SOOOOOO GOOOD, QUCIK & EASY I'm going to double the recipe next time :)
