Raw Pumpkin Soup
We have a lot to be grateful for. Not the least, our bodies with their amazing ability to heal, rejuvenate, and restore, even with all the bad eating and other abuse we put it through.
This holiday season, help your body stand strong against all viruses and infection. Keep your immune system in top form.
Keep it simple this Thanksgiving. Don’t overdo those heavy foods. Pumpkin is rich in potassium, beta carotene, and fiber. But cooking it degrades many of its nutrients. Try this raw pumpkin cream, enjoy its nuances of flavor and color, with vitamins and nutrients you get only from nature. For some extra flavor notes, we’ll add tangerine juice. If you don’t have tangerines available, you can substitute oranges.
