Raw Green Energy Soup
My new favorite food is Raw Green Energy Soup. We have a lovely family staying with us for awhile. The man is from the states, the woman is from Sweden and they have a 5-year-old son. They have introduced us to their green soup and we are loving it. There are many variations but this is what it usually winds up looking like.
Green Energy Soup
Here is a basic recipe for this soup, although you can be creative with this:
BASIC INGREDIENTS :
Seaweed (dulse)
Rejuvelac Sprouts – mung beans, green peas, lentils
(one handful is a good amount)
A large amount of a variety of organic greens
Peeled apples or watermelon, including rind, or papaya alfalfa and avocado
PREPARATION : Put your soup or salad in a blender, put about 1 tablespoon of dulse (if dulse is granulated use one teaspoon) and add about 1/4 to 1/3 blender full Rejuvelac (it may be necessary to later use more if the blender has problems handling the ingredients). Put in all of the ingredients that are tough and hardest to break down such as the sprouted mung, peas and lentils, sweet potatoes and carrots (if you should use sweet potatoes or carrots). Blend
Next, add lots of greens. The most important greens to use are the greens from your indoor garden such as sunflower greens and buckwheat lettuce. Other greens such as cilantro, watercress, parsley, celery (parsley and celery greens should be blended with the tougher ingredients because they take longer to break down) and carrot greens can be used. Any healthy organic greens can be used. Kale greens can be bitter tasting. Some people prefer milder tasting greens so use your own judgment to suit your needs. Fill the blender as full as possible and blend the greens lightly. Turn the blender off and allow the contents to “settle down”. Keep adding greens and blending them lightly until there is about 1 1/2 inch of space left at the top of the blender. For taste, add one or two peeled/cored apples or some papaya. The last thing that goes into the soup is 1/2 or 1 whole avocado to thicken it. Blend the entire soup. If avocado is not used, then almond cream or soaked sunflower seeds can be used.
This is an excellent soup to eat daily, or even several times a day. It is super healthy and helps you heal, loose weight and overcome illness. You can add banana or any fruits and vegetables that you really like. It can be sweeter or you can add jalapeño to make it spicier.
