Seriously, they are just not for winter or when you get sick. You can add as many or as less veggies as you want. For this soup I kinda just put together what I had at home.
There are a couple of champion veggies in this dish. Spinach, zucchini, carrots, and onions. Some honorable mentions that didn’t make it this round because I didn’t have them, are garlic, squash, potatoes, and celery.
In the spirit of you should eat something green everyday, we will highlight SPINACH! Spinach has a slew of health benefits. I will not list them all, that is what Google is for. I will however highlight some benefits I thought were super awesome.
Benefits of Spinach
- Reduces Blood Pressure: It has folate which does something super scientific which causes it to maintain or reduce your blood pressure.
- Strengthens Muscles: As a dancer, you will definitely need this. Spinach contains Factor C0-Q10. The name makes me feel stronger already.
- Boosts Metabolism: Who doesn’t want to shed a few pounds. Thank you spinach protein for helping me be great!
- Protects Skin: Phytonutrients and pigments help protect against UV rays.
Try this recipe Vegan and Non-Vegans will like it just the same. I like to pair it with some good ol’ buttered toast. I promise it will make you feel all good inside, because it is. Remember you are what you eat.
I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
