What you just read is NOT an oxymoron! I started a detox diet this week (no gluten, dairy, or sugar), well, detox "lite" since my
birthday is this week, and the holidays are coming up, but I figured 5 or 6 days
of the week in super-serious-diet-mode, plus 2-3 forbidden treats at the
weekend should be acceptable. I lost nearly 3lbs the first 4 days of being
super serious. Hopefully it wasn’t undone by my birthday dinner – wine, cheeseburger,
fries, and cupcakes, which I tried to make up for by running 5k today. But, I
had no intention of trying out some kind of gluten/dairy/sugar-free desert
recipe for my birthday cake, since I figured that would be a recipe for
disaster, lol!
I found this carrot soup recipe on a 3-day
detox diet site, 3-Day Healthy Cleanse, I have yet to make the broccoli soup, but I’ll give that a try
this week. The soup was SOOOO delicious, well, at least I thought so!
I’d even serve it to guests, if I served a soup course, that is. I added a can
of coconut milk, but it was perfect without. My version also had 3 shakes of
curry and turmeric, plus about 1/2tsp of salt, fresh pepper, 1T of fresh ginger,
and I topped it with pumpkin seeds and fresh parsley/coriander. I boiled it all
until soft, then took my hand-mixer-thingy and pulverized it.
Bon appétit!
