Green Detox Soup (FMD Friendly)
A nutrient-dense, low-calorie soup perfect for calorie restriction days or a digestive reset.
Longevity Benefits
Low Glycemic Index
Ideal for keeping blood sugar stable during simulated fasting.
Liver Support
Green vegetables and turmeric support the liver's natural detoxification processes.
Hydration & Satiety
High water and fiber content helps you feel full despite the low calorie intake.
Instructions
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and slice into rounds. Clean the leek and slice thinly.
In a pot, sauté the leek with a tablespoon of water (no oil to keep cooking calories low).
Add the zucchini and crushed garlic. Cover with hot vegetable broth.
Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes until zucchini is tender.
Add fresh spinach and turmeric. Cook for another 2-3 minutes (spinach just needs to wilt).
Turn off heat. Blend everything with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy.
Serve hot with a drizzle of raw EVOO and freshly ground black pepper (essential to activate turmeric).
This soup is specifically designed for those following calorie restriction protocols like the Fasting Mimicking Diet or Intermittent Fasting.
It's a micronutrient powerhouse with minimal caloric impact. Zucchini provides volume and potassium, while spinach adds iron, magnesium, and B vitamins.
The Functional Touch: Turmeric & Pepper
We added turmeric not just for color, but for its potent anti-inflammatory action. Always remember to add a pinch of black pepper: piperine increases curcumin absorption by up to 2000%.
Consume it for dinner to promote restful sleep and avoid burdening nighttime digestion.
