Drinking your vegetables is a convenient and energizing way to eat while cleansing your body from the Standard American Diet. Blending a bunch of veggies together means you’ll eat more heal-giving ingredients in a sitting, and your body will digest them easier. Why is that?
Your teeth have to do a lot of work to chew vegetables well enough to get all the available nutrition out of raw vegetables. By blending the ingredients first, your body will be able to access all those lovely vitamins and minerals more easily.
I love this recipe because the avocado is high in essential fatty acids and you can easily change the flavor by mixing up the herbs and spices mentioned or by alternating between lemon and lime. This also makes a great breakfast! Just trust me – starting your day with raw vegetables instead of a sugary refined carbohydrate will change your energy in a major way.
Ingredients:
1 ripe Haas avocado, pitted and scooped
2 scallions, diced green and white parts
1 red pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cucumber, peeled if waxy
2 handfuls of spinach
1 small clove garlic
1 teaspoon Bragg’s Liquid Aminos
Juice of 1 lemon or lime
Optional: fresh parsley, basil leaves, cilantro, cayenne powder, almonds soaked overnight in water and drained, etc.
Blend all the ingredients together until creamy – enjoy!
Alexandra, sounds delicious! How many servings is this supposed to be and how long would it last inthe fridge if making several servings at once?
This will keep for 24-36 hours in the fridge. I recommend you only store it in a glass, air-tight container. Depending on how hungry you are, this should be 2 servings!

Hi Alex, raw veggie soup sounds great, but why the liquid amino?
What is the Liquid Aminos and where do you find it?
Alex,
I heard that Bragg’s Liquid Aminos has MSG in them is this true?
Bragg’s has NO MSG!
Thanks!
Alex

Hi Autumn~
Add some fresh vegetable juice, water or broth to get the consistency you want. This should work fine in a decent blender.
Be well, Alex
