Broccoli and Daikon Soup

This Soup is easily digestible and super fast to create and therefore, makes for a great Spring soup when the season calls for lighter food and more outdoor play (less indoor kitchen time).

Spring is a time for new beginnings and releasing stored energy we accumulate in the Winter. Go light, feel bright, go green, feel lean!

Genia’s Spoon Me Tips: Cut down on sweets, heavy meats and grains (brown rice can be heavy. Millet, quinoa, amaranth, and the lighter smaller grains are more digestable) during the warmer seasons. Drink warm water and chew on some grounded ginger root with a splash of lime and sprinkle of salt to get your juices flowing in you gut for happy digestible meals. A great time to chew on ginger is before a meal. Bon-Apetite!
