HULK SOUP

Hulk Soup 

OK with this one I am again guilty – I do tend to hide from MOO what is in this – all he knows is its a super food and if he eats it – he will turn into the hulk – literally. I love it though – especially in winter it is perfect, it’s quick simple and oh so tasty! MOO asks for this quite frequently and I usually have a batch in the freezer ready to zap when we are not well. 

RECIPE 

1x Tin Butter Beans

1x Fistful of Kale 

1x Head of Broccoli 

2x Stems of Celery 

1x Leek finely sliced 

2x Cloves of Garlic 

6x Cups Vegetable stock 

Olive Oil 

Cayanne Pepper 

METHOD

1. Lightly fry the onion and garlic. 
2. Add the celery and leek 
3. add the broccoli, kale and stock 
4. Add the beans and bring to the boil 
5. Blend 
6. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper 

I often like this with a nice buttered english muffin or a toasted cheese sandwich – it’s great the next day! 

A friend of mine has recently made this and she added chicken to hers for some added protein – she said it worked perfectly so have  a play and let me know what you come up with! 

 

GREEN JUICE

Green Juice 

Which are you? A blender or a juicer? Me – I’m a blender I like to get as much into the juices and smoothies as possible and this is an example of just how great it can get! Moo was super skeptical when this was dished up with his breakfast – he took a sip and wasn’t totally thrilled but I dare say he will come around! I have faith! It’s a great morning flavour! 

RECIPE 

1x Pear 

1x Frozen Banana  

1x Handful of spinach 

3x Tbs rolled oats

1x Tbs almonds 

1x Cup of coconut water 

METHOD

1. Blend and enjoy!! 

I keep a bag in the fridge of all these ingredients already portioned out for a quick morning treat. just open the bag dump it in the blender and good to go. The only tip I have is to make sure you add the banana frozen – it’s what cools the smoothie 🙂
