Vegan day 323: Raw Creamy Broccoli Soup

I have to remember that when time is of the essence, raw can really be convenient. 

Of course at times, you may have to soak, sprout and dehydrate in advance, but when you incorporate this healthy way of eating into your life it becomes a welcomed practice. 

I soaked my cashews for two hours. Then when I was ready to eat, I put all the ingredients into my blender and ran it. It was so quick even I thought it was too good to be true. The soup had a beautifully smooth broccoli flavor and was quite delicious. 


I try not to have multiple portions but couldn’t help myself. The soup in the white square dish above is for presentation. I generally eat with the small sized ones to the right. Physical portion control can help train the mind and stomach to avoid overeating. Years ago, I would eat a much unhealthier soup in a much bigger bowl.. have seconds.. and then fall asleep lol. I’m changing.. it’s a process and a fun one at that!
