Slim down series: veggies soup!

This is my favorite way to kick start my diet. Still giving my body food and making my stomach less puffy. This works for me and I'm just sharing what I like to do. Please check with your doctor before starting any new diet plan.

Veggie soup!

Ingredients 

Celery- half stock 

Carrots- half bag organic carrots about 4-5 carrots peeled 

Zucchini- 2 chopped 

Half yellow onion 

-coconut oil (table spoon at bottom of pan)

Himalayan pink salt to taste 

Pepper to taste and Cheyanne pepper to taste.

Low sodium organic vegetable brother 2 cartons (shown in video) 

Chop up all ingredients and let heat up on low in the pan as you chop. I find it adds more flavor to the soup. 

Add some of your salt and pepper 

Then add 2 cartons of your vegetable broth 

Bring to a light boil and you are done!!!

Cooks for about 30-40 min depending how did you like your veggies.

I like to add lemon to my soup per serving.

This amount typically last me 3 days. 

I like to have in addition to a light salad.

But on "detox days" I just have two bowls lunch and dinner. Feel free to add chicken or any other veggies you like. 

Hope you enjoy. Xo

SlimDownSeries: Essentials

Here are some links to things I find are needed to jump start and follow along with me. 

I have purchased all of these Items myself and feel that they work best for me. 

so far I love my new scale and ill be giving you guys my first weigh in next week. 

Essentials

Number 1. Reliable scale. Body fat on a scale isn't always accurate so I wouldn't worry too much about that. but having a scale that will give you consistent readings is important and not change based on how you lean or stand.

Match green tea or oolong tea. I've mentioned this plenty of times that I noticed a big difference while drinking tea. Helps speed up the metabolism and release fat from the body.
