Avo Carrot Saucy Soup


Simply delicious avocado. How else can you satisfy your brain and your belly, your hair, skin and nails and enjoy such a succulent superfood at any age? (avos are great for babies and old people since they are soothing to the digestive system).
Avocado can be added to nearly any dish--from soup to sauces and dressings to desserts. Without further ado, here is a dish from lunch a few days ago that can be as saucy or soupy as you prefer. Laura and I enjoyed it as a dip with celery, in addition to collard wraps filled with extra salty almond pate--it would have been a nice colorful sauce to the wraps as well. Or a soup to begin with. She liked the coconut water, so I decided to add it in to make the soup a bit more saucy! Spring water works nice also. ( :

Avo Carrot Soup
1 avocado
1 carrot
1/4 cup blanched almonds (I removed the skins, but not necessary)
1 T ginger
1 T agave
pinch of cayenne

Blend. Add coconut water or spring water for a thinner consistency.
Enjoy as a starter soup, side sauce, succulent saucy section of your plate to enjoy with sorted veggies or just plain as a saucy soup!

More simply yum way to enjoy an avocado:
*mashed into a grain
*mashed onto a slice of bread
*cut in half and enjoyed with sea salt/lemon on a spoon
*sprinkled with nutritional yeast and enjoyed out on the beach in the sunshine as a protein, healthy fat filled pick-me-up
*however you like it, savoring the taste and chewing well (-:

Eat more avocados. Be at peace. Sleep well and breathe in new life every day in every way.
Trust the process and whenever life gets stressful, be sure to eat well so you can stay centered.
