My favorite healthy + cleansing soup recipes + soup essentials.
Soups are a great way to pack in the rainbow + nutrients into every bite. Soups give your digestive system a break, are super easy to make, and carry a comforting warmth through the winter. Soups are also a great way to use up any vegetables that may be past their due date, minimizing food waste. Perfect for making large batches and freezing for later or getting creative + using as dressings or dips throughout the week.

Healthy Chocolate Fudge
Ingredients:
4 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp coconut sugar syrup (see below)

To make coconut sugar syrup mix 3 tbsp coconut sugar with 2 tbsp boiling water until coconut sugar melts.
In a separate bowl, combine 4 tbsp cocoa powder and 1 tbsp melted coconut oil until it becomes a paste.
Slowly add in 1-3 tbsp of coconut sugar syrup (I prefer very dark chocolate fudge and use about 2 tbsp of coconut sugar syrup. I recommend tasting as you add in the syrup).
Mix until ingredients until well blended.
Line a small container, about 6 in x 6 in, with parchment paper. Pour in fudge and smooth. Place in refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
Once cooled, sprinkle sea salt flakes on top.

Brain Boosting Matcha Latte
Ingredients:
1tsp matcha
1 tsp coconut cream
6oz hot water at 176ºF
Mix a little bit of hot water, temperature should be below a boil, and mix with whisk or hand held electric frother. Add coconut cream and whisk. Combine the rest of the hot water.
Benefits: Matcha is a nootropic, enhancing brain function, boosting alertness, increasing relaxation, improving memory, and protecting the brain against damage.
The three main nootropics in matcha:
| L-theanine: boosts alertness + relaxation while avoiding the caffeine crash
| Caffeine: boosts attention + memory
| EGCG: antioxidant to reduce damage caused by free radicals + oxidation and improves memory + mood.
*Bonus: matcha supports healthy hair + skin.
Make sure your matcha is organic + free from radiation and heavy metals. I love Encha matcha ceremonial grade, directly from the farm.
Coconut cream: a healthy brain fat (60% of brain is made of fat, so fat = brain fuel). I love Native Forest Brand Organic Premium Coconut Cream Unsweetened, and keep the rest in the refrigerator for the next match latte.
