Vegan Garlic Cold-Fighting, Immune-Boosting Soup

2020-03-03T12:38:00.000-06:00

It's March and you'd think we'd seen the worst of cold/flu season by now. Unfortunately, everyone in our home is sick with a cold for the 3rd week running, with 3 kids it's hard to keep germs away especially when the cold gets passed from one kid to the next - ughhh! Not only that, but Coronavirus is a growing concern and antibacterial wipes, hand sanitizer and face masks are no where to be found. So we make soup, and pray for the best! We love this super easy garlic soup, it's immunity boosting, cold fighting and soothing to sore throats! It's also a favorite with the kids!

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:

2 onions, diced
4 heads of garlic
olive oil
64 oz of vegetable broth
1 sprig of fresh rosemary
Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Peel off outer layer of garlic peel (the white papery stuff)
Slice off the ends of the bulb (so it looks flat at the bottom)
Drizzle olive oil over bulbs, cover with foil and place into the oven
Roast for 45 minutes
Once the garlic is done let it cool
Medium dice the onions and sauté in olive oil until translucent
Add onions to blender or food processor with some broth
Squeeze garlic out of each clove into the blender/food processor
Puree until smooth
Add everything into the stock pot and pour in the rest of the broth.
Stir to combine
Add rosemary and salt/pepper
Bring to a boil then simmer for 10 minutes
Remove rosemary and serve.

Optional: Feel free to add nutritional yeast for a creamy/cheesy flavor!

Tuscan Kale & White Bean Soup Recipe

2020-02-19T13:41:00.001-06:00

Tuscan Kale & White Bean Soup

This soup is delicious and hearty, full of veggies and a favorite with our littles! It's also really easy to make and under 500 Calories per serving! This recipe makes 2 (Adult-Sized) Servings - it was enough for 2 kids and 2 adults in our house. If you want leftovers or seconds double the recipe.

Ingredients:

1 can of Cannellini (white kidney) beans
2 medium Carrots
24oz Vegetable Broth
1/2 small pack of fresh rosemary
2 garlic cloves
1 bunch of kale (any kind will work -but we prefer Lacinto Kale for this recipe)
1/2 yellow onion
black pepper
crushed red pepper
extra virgin olive oil
salt

Instructions:

Wash and dry the fresh produce: carrots, kale, rosemary
Trim off the ends and peel the carrots. Small dice the carrots (1/4" cubes) and transfer to a bowl.
Preheat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
Trim off and discard ends of the onion and remove the peel. Small dice into 1/4" pieces and add to the bowl with the carrots
Open can of beans but don't drain it.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the saucepan and swirl to coat the bottom.
Add carrots and onions to saucepan; cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have softened, 3-4 minutes.
Remove rosemary leaves from stems and chop. Add to a small bowl.
Trim off and discard the root end of the garlic; peel and mince.
Add garlic and 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper to the saucepan; cook stirring constantly, until fragrant, 15-30 seconds.
Add the beans and their liquid, along with 3 cups of veggie broth, rosemary, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp of pepper to the saucepan. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil.
When soup comes to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
While soup cooks, fold each kale leaf lengthwise, slice away and discard the stems, and chop the leaves into 1" pieces.
Uncover the saucepan, stir in the kale, then cover again and continue to cook until the kale is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
To serve, ladle the soup into a bowl. Enjoy!

fasting mimicking diet do it yourself

2019-12-22T12:22:00.001-06:00

What is the fasting mimicking diet?

The fasting mimicking diet is a keto like diet that restricts your calorie intake to around a thousand calories for the first week. so in other words you're eating low carb and high fat but also at the same time monitoring your calorie intake not to exceed 1000 calories per day on the first week.

What to eat?

Nut butter bars - You can easily go to your local supermarket and buy Nut Butter suck peanut butter and macadamia nut butter cashew butter and make your own nut butter bars or you can buy commercially made bars like perfect bar at your local grocery store.

Omega-3 oils - Omega-3 oils are a must you could either get them from a plant-based Source like flaxseed oil or algae oil or you could get an animal base or such as fish oil at your local natural food store. I recommend trying coromega.

Bone broth - bone broth is good as a sipping / snack to eat when you're hungry on the first week while trying to restrict your calorie intake.

Vegetable chips - vegetable chips such as kale chips and broccoli chips are a very good choice while on this diet. Find a good branched chain amino acid supplement! This will keep you full longer and prevent you from losing muscle mass.

Vegan, Keto & Paleo Air Food

2019-01-25T00:42:00.003-06:00

We all know sticking to your new year diet plan is rough, then add traveling with 3 hungry little munchkins and thoughts of binging on goldfish start dancing through your head. Other than packing your own pre-cut veggies & low glycemic fruit, there are a few awesome snacks you can grab for you and your kiddos to make life just a bit easier. We know airplane rides with little ones aren’t always a dream but these pre-packed and ready to go snacks will help put you at ease.

A few other hacks for traveling with littles:

Bring an empty reusable water bottle – Once you pass security you’ll see a water bottle filling station next to the water fountain.
Bring an electronic device + headphones – lifesaver! Here are our favorite picks that are easy on the budget and durable too: Amazon Kindle with Freetime for Kids & iClever Kitty Headphones
WetOnes – wipe those tray tables and armrests and your littles one fingers and leave the germs behind!
Baby wearing wrap like a Moby, Ergo or Lillebaby for your little one – keep your hands free and babe sleeping 🙌

We hope these tidbits help you have a smoother journey on your next adventure!

Shrooms, yes they are good for you…

2019-01-24T01:25:00.001-06:00

Yes, mushrooms have so many benefits for your health!

Here are 8 shrooms that are gaining popularity this year that you should add to your vocabulary and supplement cabinet.

Lion’s Mane Mushroom

Reishi – This mushroom is considered an adaptogen. It’s known to soothe nerves and stimulate sleep, which means it’s great for dealing with stress and getting a good night’s sleep!
Cordyceps – It is said to improve energy, appetite, stamina, libido, endurance, and sleeping patterns.
Chaga – This mushroom is known to reduce inflammation, boost the immune system, enhance liver health, and fight viruses.
Lion’s Mane – Also known as the “smart mushroom”, it guards against dementia, reduces anxiety and depression and can even help repair nerve damage.
Turkey Tail – Contains prebiotic and antioxidant properties to help with gut health.
Enokitake – Is an excellent source of Vitamin B3 (Niacin) and full of antioxidants as well.
Maitake – It has many antioxidant properties, beta-glucans, and minerals, it’s also said to support a healthy gut and blood sugar levels.
Shiitake – Is a superfood mushroom, often used in traditional Chinese medicine to increase circulation. It contains amino acids, alsong with vitamins D & B.

We are loving all these amazing mushrooms and some of our favorite products are made by Four Sigmatic, they create yummy elixirs that can easily be mixed with water or nut or oat milk to create a delicious treat with superfood benefits. Our personal favorites are the Mushroom Hot Cocoa with Reishi and the Golden Latte Mushroom Mix. The elixirs are also vegan, paleo and free of junky sweeteners.
