Summertime "Creamy" Zucchini Soup

1 cup chopped green (or purple) beans

4 cups water or broth

 1 t. ghee

1/2 t. brown mustard seeds 

1/2 t. cumin seeds

1/2 inch fresh ginger root, minced

1/2 t. turmeric powder

pinch hing (optional)

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped 

wedges of lime or bottled lime juice

In a small pan, melt the ghee and add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and hing. Heat until seeds begin to pop. Remove from heat. 

Add all ingredients (including the seeds in ghee) to a pot and bring to a boil and then reduce heat and cook for 30 minutes. You can also put everything in an instant pot and cook pressurized for 30 minutes or on the "beans" setting. When finished, garnish with fresh cilantro and a splash of lime juice. Enjoy!

If you are looking to care for yourself in a deeper way. Consider participating in one of my seasonal detoxes. Here's what people are saying about their experience in the detox. 

"Before the Detox, I was a mess. I was slightly depressed, moody, anxious, full of worry, heavy, not happy with my current diet. I had a feeling of helplessness in the sense that whatever I ate showed up on the scale, left me bloated, I often over ate, experienced frequent bouts of acid reflux, snacked between meals, was constipated or had diarrhea, and the list goes on. After the Detox, I have lost more weight than expected, I feel good and no longer have the above symptoms. My yearly physical and lab results were excellent. My blood pressure is lower than it has been for years; my cholesterol numbers are what they want heart attack patients to be at. I'm not a heart attack or stroke candidate. My AC1 numbers are good. I feel lighter, healthier and happy! To others I would say, if you are experiencing some things from your diet, daily life, or diseases/medical issues that you do not like, this program could be the game changer you are looking for at least it has been for me." Sue (Oregon)

"Before the detox I was at the end of my rope, tired, overwhelmed, emotional, in pain and feeling hopeless. After the Detox it was like I worked through a magic program that restored me to my younger self. Feeling like there is a new lease on life. Pain almost gone, increased energy, feeling balanced, happier and more at peace." Brenda (Florida)

I think Sue and Brenda summed the detox experience up well. It can truly be a time of immense change and positive shifts in your wellbeing.

It's just 3 weeks and the results can be impressive!!

I offer the Spring Detox in March and the Autumn Detox in September. Check out the "Programs" tab a month before the detoxes start to read more about them and to register. 

With love and light,
