Green Detox Soup recipe

We are but moments from stepping into Spring, and hopefully warmer days. I don’t know about you but Winter wasn’t kind to me or my diet. Slowly but surely my coffee intake increased (here’s looking at you 4 month old Ava), as did the sugary goods (dam you UberEats, dam you).  So, I’m more than ready and dare I say, excited, to say good bye to both.

This recipe by my girl Nadia Felsch is everything I (and you!) need. Warming, cleansing real food.

Why does Nadia love it?

‘Support what your body does naturally by including this delicious and easy-to-make, detox soup!

Simpler, cheaper and better for you than crazy cleanses and expensive products.

The glucosinolate-rich vegetables in this soup support natural liver detoxification pathways and add fibre to our diet which assists with digestive function (hello gut health!) and also the flushing of toxins that we all have.’
