For some reason my mind and the office world could not connect today. I sat there struggling to concentrate on the intranet site I am uploading much information to, listening to (go ahead and judge me) Mr Blake Shelton. I decided to meet a friend for lunch, and eat outside in a small park in the CBD. I thought being in the open air might do us good. However, we were smoked over until it occurred to me to suggest we just move and take a walk instead. The lesson has been learned for next time: if someone lights up near you, immediately change your own location. Maybe to somewhere like San Diego. Doesn’t that sound nice?
Upon arriving home, I washed the day off me and considered what kind of dinner might revive me for the most minimal effort. I instantly recalled another of the soups from my beloved book Raw Food Real World.* True to it’s name, it fit the bill perfectly after my somewhat so-so kind of day.
This is not a true rendition of their (utterly divine) version, but rather my pared down five ingredients only varietal. Please also note that it tastes so much better than it looks!
To make this refreshing soup you will need:
500g organic carrots, juiced (or enough to make roughly 3 cups of juice)
Flesh of one young coconut (I used the flesh left over from one we drank from earlier)
1 large avocado
Juice of two limes
3cm (just over an inch) piece of fresh ginger which when finely chopped makes about 1.5 – 2 tbsps worth
Method: Blend.
* I promise to use another book soon!
Delectable, Em!
Hi Gena!
It really hit the spot. I felt so low on energy all afternoon but it’s great now knowing what food would perk me up! Not that long ago a raw soup on a relatively chilly evening would never have crossed my mind. I am glad it does now

Yum! I bet your eyesight was super-charged after a bowl
