Chilled Carrot Soup

This is one of my very lazy but very tasty standbys. Fabulous enough to serve at a dinner party to 'unknowing' guests, packed with nutrients and goodness to ensure you bounce off the walls with vitality.





1 Kg Carrots ( about 3 cups of juice) – chilled is best.
1 ripe avocado ( or two if you want it extra creamy or extra thick)
½ tsp celtic salt
1 clove garlic and or a drip or two of ginger juice ( optional and to taste)
3 or 4 oranges – juice them on the spot.




Garnish - mung beans, shredded carrot strips, beetroot strips or snow pea shoots





Method - its so easy it embarrassing
Juice the carrots and pour into a blender
spoon in avocado, salt, garlic and ginger ( if you are using them). 


now whizz....that it.


If you like a thicker soup – add another ripe avocado.
If you like a thiner soup  add more orange juice


Pour soup into 4 small bowls and garnish.
For hot days – chill soup for 30 mins before serving.


On table place salt grinder and chopped chillies, extra garnishings and cashews for an extra texture and creaminess. 


seriously - you will get rave reviews about this.

Best Ever!!

Had a ripper day - had 2 green smoothies and a fruit smoothie, some apples and a banana.

Made some great carrot soup with some ginger and added sprouts to it for a crunch texture hummmm.

For dinner I had some steamed broccali and corn coupled with a carrot, celery and apple juice followed by the best ever choc mousse. I might even retype it up and post it on another blog.

Easy Peasy Choc Mousse
1 ripe advocado
1 can coconut cream ( for 100% ers - make your coconut cream using fresh coconut  - use both the flesh and the water..- This takes alot longer and messier than opening a can..so do what you feel is right for you here..)
3 tbsp of cacao powder ( I use the Raw Organic one as the taste is superior.. and there are no nasties)
1 tbs vanilla essence - or you can use a vanilla bean ( scrape out the seeds only.. put the husk into your agarve or honey pot)
5 tbsp ( to taste) agarve syrup ( dependant upon your vegan tendencies, you might like to use honey - a good quality one.. or go half and half.)

blend thoroughly in high speed blender

spoon out into bowl and mix in a punnet of blue berries.

This will not last any longer than it takes to put it on the table.. so yummy!!!!

so pretty good day today.. feeling positive.
