Creamy Carrot Soup (Raw)

I love this soup! This recipe is inspired by one of my favorite raw food chefs, Diana Stobo.

Creamy Carrot Soup

2 cups carrot juice (approx 18-20 carrots depending on size)
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 avocado (save 1/4 of it for garnish)
1/2 jalapeno pepper
1/2 teaspoon cold pressed olive oil (I use Braggs)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Blend all of the above in a high speed blender.

Garnish:

1/4 avocado from above, diced
Plus any/all of these:
Red Pepper, 1-2 tablespoons, diced
Jicama, 1-2 tablespoons, diced
Cucumber, 1-2 tablespoons, diced

Makes 1 large serving or 2 regular servings.

Enjoy!

New Name: The Elusive Introvert

"I want to live simply. I want to sit by the window when it rains and read books I'll never be tested on. I want to paint because I want to, not because I've got something to prove. I want to listen to my body; fall asleep when the moon is high and wake up slowly; with no place to rush off to. I want not to be governed by money or clocks or any of the artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself. I just want to be, boundless and infinite." Unknown** Hello! They say "start where you are" so here goes... Nearly seven years since I posted here. Time flies. And a lot has happened since then. Mostly good, but also some lessons learned along the way. This blog was formerly called "Alice's Wonderful Life" (sort of a play on words with the Alice in Wonderland thing - so original, sigh). It had bright background colors and chipper-sounding content for the most part. But that's not me. And things are not always wonderful. A...

Day 2 at Hippocrates

Monday. First thing today was having a blood draw, blood pressure taken and weight check. Blood Pressure: 128/80 Weight: 173 I was surprised by the weight because I was 177 when I left home, so already some improvement! More mandatory orientations: Internal Awareness which all about our digestive system and the importance of colon health (enemas and wheatgrass implants and colon hydrotherapy). Wheatgrass Instruction which did not have too much new information for me since I have been doing wheatgrass shots on and off for a couple of years ever since I attended a lecture that Brian Clement gave in Fairfield but nevertheless they have electronic wheatgrass juicers here, so it was good to learn how to use them. I currently have a manual wheatgrass juicer and I kinda like it cause you get to have a mini arm workout while you juice. The afternoon consisted of back-to-back lectures. I don't have my notes here with me at the moment, so I can't write them all down righ...

My Big (to me) Adventure

Live, Love, Laugh... It seems like I haven't been doing much of those lately. Oh yes, I'm Living. Yes, I'm Loved (and love) and yes, I do Laugh. But not like I used to. I can't exactly pinpoint why. I blame a good deal of it on work and a great deal of it on the state of the world today. Unkindness to each other and abuse to animals, war, politics, destroying the planet little by little - it's all getting to me big time. I do my small part, but I still feel hopeless and sad, like I want to do more. I have a pretty good job, but I just feel so unfulfilled. For those that don't know, my dirty little secret is that I work at a big pharma company which is kind of a joke when I don't even believe in using allopathic or western medicine except in a dire emergency. When I meet people at various natural food / green / organic / good-for-the-earth type gatherings, I'm always met with a questioning head-tilt and raised-eyebrow (just one, sometimes both) when a...
