Nutritional Tips: Warm Up Your Body

Did you know that soup provides a number of health benefits – when you choose the right ingredients? 

Benefits of Soup: 

1. Promotes hydration
2. Easy digestion
3. Can be a good source of protein 
4. Boosts your immune system 
5. Added nutrients because it allows for a diverse array of vegetables and spices

Tips and Tricks to Creating Beautiful Soups: 

If you are not in the practice of making soup, it may feel a little daunting at first. 

The key to making a great soup is creating the flavor! 

We recommend choosing a few recipes and starting there so you can have guidance while you build your confidence. Then when you’re ready to make your own soups you will have a foundational practice. 

Making your own soup: 

• Always start with your base flavor ingredients by sauteing an array of onions, leeks, garlic, peppers, carrots and/or potatoes. 
• Once your veggies are sauteed you can add your meat, beans, legumes and/or primary vegetables. Primary vegetables can be boccoli, cauliflower, spinach, kale. 
• Add spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, salt and/or pepper
• Boil! We love the instapot, but you can also low boil! 

To get your started Enjoy our recipe for Cauliflower Soup below in the recipes section.

Chocolate Granola Brownies

Recipe by Athena from @athenaeats

Ingredients:

6 tbsp salted butter
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour (or almond flour)
1.25 tsp baking powder
1 cup Clay’s Chocolate Buzz Warrior Mix
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 8×8 pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar; beat in the eggs one at a time, stopping to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl between additions. Beat in the vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix into the butter mixture until evenly combined.
4. Stir in the granola and any other combination of mix-ins you like. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and smooth out the top.
5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the edges just begin to pull away from the side of the pan. The center should be set, not wobbly. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.
6. Once the bars are cooled to lukewarm, you can use the parchment or foil to lift them out of the pan onto a cutting board. Cut when completely cool.
