Raw Vegan Recovery Soup

I went to an all-Vegan potluck BBQ yesterday. Burgers, hot dogs, pizza, cookies, candies, fruit salad, salad (with beets, berries, and nuts!), potato salad, cauliflower with cashew blue cheese, and cheese & crackers. All Vegan and all delicious, but not all good for me. 

This morning, I found a recipe for a detox soup and modified it for what I had in the house. 

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cup water (start with 1/4 cup and add as needed)
• juice of half a lemon
  
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  
• 1-2 teaspoons agave
  
• 1/8 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp tamari or Bragg's Liquid Aminos
  
• 1 pear (de-seeded and cut into smaller pieces)
• 1 packed cup kale (or other leafy green) (chopped finely)
  
• 1 pinch sea sea salt
  
• half an avocado
• 1 apple (cubed)

Directions:

1. Put liquids in the blender first, then add the solid foods. (This makes the blades turn faster.) 

2. Combine all ingredients except apple and nutritional yeast.

3. Pour liquid into a bowl. 

4. Add apple cubes and yeast, then stir.
