This crock-pot broccoli soup never fails to taste amazingly good.
It does not matter how I change it every time I make it. This soup is rich in healthy carbs, protein, fats, and micronutrients!
If you know my wellness warrior story, you know I did ZERO cooking a few years ago. I was the queen of putting ‘stuff’ together. It had to be quick and easy or no deal. Wonder why I had health issues. This kind of ‘nutrition and lifestyle’ DOES NOT WORK for your long term health. If you are young, your body isn’t telling you that yet, but it will sooner or later. Don’t go there. Invest in your health now. I went from cooking nothing to about all my meals. When I started, it took me hours on Sunday to cook my weekly meals. Well, I’ve learned, improved, and do it MUCH faster. Patience!
Rule #1: cook in bulk for diversity and time saving.
Rule #2: invest in tools to save you time in the kitchen: crockpot, steamer, food processor, vegetable/fruit chopper/cutter, spiralizer, good blender or even a Vitamix (finally bought one last December), and dehydrator. If you don’t have any, start with a crockpot! Make room in your budget and schedule to buy one at a time. Or even better, ask your family and friends to gift them to you. Be creative or consult Dr. Google or others who have been there! Would like my opinion and/or have questions, reach out.
Rule #3: be open minded to introducing different foods and tastes to your lifestyle. I was horrible. I’d do anything to not touch any vegetables. Today, my diet is 70% plant base. Number of vegetables and colors on my plate or smoothie still shocks me when I look back. Thus, be open mind. Be patient. It’s a marathon. It’s your life. It’s your health. It’s your well-being. Think ahead and ask yourself…how do I want to look, feel, and do in my 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s? Every healthy step you take now counts. Do what’s in your control to feel fab and age beautifully.
I have establish more rules for myself which I’d recommend but let’s get to the recipe 🙂
