Sweet Energy Soup

-

Today's green monster of a soup is a Sweet Energy Soup recipe that I created this morning by just listening to what my body was craving. This made a whopping 42 ounces of green goodness and YES, I ate it all myself....I can put away the raw foods! This will count as two meals, breakfast and lunch. I stay satisfied after eating this until dinner time.

My last post discussed the myth that is floating out there that one must consume animal flesh to get protein, well as the articles stated nothing could be further than the truth. I consume more absorbable protein as a vegan that any carnivore hands down. What about iron you might ask?? Don't worry, it's in the dark leafy greens and sprouts! No excuses, vegan is the way to go for optimal health.

 This soup is loaded with protein, vitamins, minerals, fiber, omega 3's, amino acids and enzymes--over the top nutrient dense. Give 100% vegan a try for a few days and you will not believe how fantastic you feel.

The nutrient breakdown of the sunflower greens is:

Nutritional info:
Vitamins A, B, C and E
Calcium, Chlorophyll, Iron, Magnesium, Niacin, Phosphorus, Potassium
Amino Acids
Protein: 20-25%

And the nutrient breakdown of the broccoli sprouts is:

Nutritional info:
Vitamins A, B, C, E and K
Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Zinc Carotene, Chlorophyll, Trace Elements, Amino Acids Antioxidants
Protein: 35%

Here is my recipe for you to try. By the way, children LOVE this, 3 of my youngest all gather round me while I eat this begging for bites; even after they all just consumed their morning green smoothie!! They just love their greens--beautiful!

The other day I came across an article, by Thomas Stearns Lee, NMD, which contained recipes for seed cheese and seed yogurt. His recipes call for Rejuvelac and sunflower seeds, but as usual I improvised and used things I had on hand and created the same end result!  I decided to make the savory Seed Yogurt to be used as a base in my salad dressings or sauces. It was incredibly easy and delicious.  ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ Pumpkin Seed Yogurt By Elizabeth @rawlivingandlearning.blogspot.com 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (or raw sunflower seeds) 1/3 cup raw sesame seeds 8 ounces of filtered water 2 vegan probiotic capsules Pinch of Real Salt 1 tsp fresh lemon juice Soak the seeds for 6 hours.

Raw Vegan Spring Rolls

RAW VEGAN SPRING ROLLS By Elizabeth www.rawlivingandlearning.blogspot.com Yesterday was another fun day of creating raw, vegan recipes. I was determined to make an alternative to rice paper wrappers when making spring rolls. The texture of this raw, red cabbage is amazing! I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. It is a simple two step recipe to tenderize the red cabbage all the while preserving the essential enzymes and nutrients that raw cabbage possesses. The many health benefits of raw cabbage motivates me to always try and eat it uncooked. But sometimes I prefer it soft vs crunchy, and here is the perfect way to enjoy it.  The first step was to cut out the tough core at the bottom of the cabbage. I then cut about a third of one side off so I could more easily separate the cabbage leaves. Next I placed 7 cabbage leaves in a square glass dish and filled it with water. I then placed this dish in the very bottom of my Excalibur dehydrator.  On the top rack I

Simplifying the Concept of Proper Food Combining

Watch Dr. Clement from Hippocrates Health Institute discuss food combining in a very simple way. His explanation is the one that really stuck, I get confused by the fancy food combing charts out there. He gives you the nuts and bolts of proper combining. Enjoy! Please note that I am terrible at food combining. I eat things together that shouldn't go together, because they taste good together, with the exception of melons; I only eat melons alone!!! I cannot have them with anything else or I double over in pain and bloat. I am a work in progress and some day I will practice proper food combining. If you'd prefer to red about food combing, just look at this info I found at http://www.raw-food-health.net/Raw-Food-Combining.html Raw Food Combining: Your Options Your options for raw food combining fall into 11 categories based not on culinary classifications, but on the actual composition of the food. If you're eating well, though, there are only really eight c
