Beauty Eats-Roasted carrot and cauliflower soup
Today’s Beauty Eats recipe is about healthy comfort food. If you’re a new reader, you might be wondering what the Beauty Eats series is all about. The image on the left sums it up perfectly – it’s all about eating skin-friendly ingredients in delicious ways.
January can be a rather dull month since the holiday festivities are over and it’s the dead of winter. The best way to brighten things up on a cold, dreary day is with some colourful comfort food. Personally, I love the thought of warming up with some vegetable soup on a weeknight since it doesn’t require much work and you’ll get a few servings of veggies too. We all know how hard that is! This bright orange soup is made with roasted carrots and cauliflower, but since plain vegetable soup can get a little boring sometimes, I took some inspiration from the East. The soup also includes fresh ginger and coconut milk! How’s that for some fusion food? And to top it off, this soup is chock full of skin-friendly ingredients. Read on for the recipe and see what Connie from the Beauty Nerd has to say about this soup.
Tropical sunshine smoothie
Good morning! After a weekend of indulgence, the best thing to have for breakfast is something light and “guilt-free”. This smoothie captures tropical sunshine in a glass and is sure to lift your spirits for the week ahead. To add a twist to the smoothie, I added a hint of ginger for some zing and mint for a refreshing flavour.
When you’re in a rush to get out the door, making a smoothie is probably the easiest way to get some nutrition in a glass. This smoothie has a serving and half of fruits and a full serving of dairy. I doubt I’d be able to have that if I actually had to sit down and eat breakfast. That’s why I don’t think I could live without my trusty Magic Bullet!
