My largest meal of the day is usually dinner and I don’t do breakfast until I am hungry.
And when my body is ready for food, 9 times out of 10 I have a green smoothie or a shake for breakfast.
However, now that it is chilly in the mornings, a cooler drink just isn’t so appealing to my appetite.
So what’s a girl to do that likes getting her leafy greens in the a.m.? Why, GREEN SOUP of course!
This soup fuels me perfectly before an intense workout and is so satisfying yet still light in my belly making it a great boost at least a half hour before a yoga practice too!
My friend Carla from Living Vegan 101 shared this raw soup recipe with me and it is now my go-to breakfast whenever I have avocado in the house (which is often because I have a generous friend who has an orchard of avo trees that are dripping with ripe fruit right now).
Raw Green Soup Based With Avocado
Since the ingredients are blended in a VitaMixer, or a blender, you can blend it up so it gets a bit warm. Ohhhh, so nourishing on those chilly mornings.
The recipe here calls for swiss chard, I have used kale and it is AWESOME! Also, I like it better without the apple and I like to spice it up by blending in ginger and adding a topper of cayenne pepper and dulse sprinkles .
Play around with what best suits your palate and enjoy your morning knowing you have gifted your body the pleasure of eating a plant based, raw food breakfast. Oh yeah baby!
