5 Day Healing Soups Challenge
As the holiday season starts to ramp up and food becomes a big part of the excitement, I want to encourage you to stick to your clean eating foundation, clean, nutrient dense, whole, nourishing foods. Add in the "fun" foods in small increments BUT plan your meals around the idea of "what will nourish me the most."
In light of that, I thought it would be a great idea to take November to focus on some healing foods like soups and salads. Healing foods the are easy on your gut but also nourish you.
The first challenge will be held Monday, Nov. 1st - Friday, Nov. 5th and the goal is to consume a healing soup for at least 1 meal per day.
What is a healing soup? A soup made with all the clean eating principles we talk about (organic vegetables, grass fed meat, sprouted grains, organic spices) plus a recommended addition of organic bone broth as the base.
Why bone broth? The healing and soothing properties of bone broth are unmatched. Bone broth contains numerous vitamins and minerals, even can sub as an electrolyte drink!
How will we run the challenge?
We will use the Nudge app to share photos and our recipes, experiences, etc. Please make sure you download the app (remember, it is free for you all as a member).
I will share some wonderful recipes (see below) but I want to encourage you to search for your own recipes and make some tweaks to ensure they are clean and healing (i.e. if the recipe calls for chicken broth, sub in organic free range chicken bone broth).
See below for some favorite store bought brands of bone broth.
See below for a recipe on how to make your own bone broth which I highly recommend if you have the time.
