Raw carrot ginger soup Nate's style
This winter vacation has been a lot of fun with kids at home. We usually only have them on weekends, this year we have them for most of the week. Nathan, Damon's 10 year old loves raw. He LOVES using the Vita-Mix and had a chance to use it on his own this week and made some soup from scratch for lunch. We are so proud of him for #1 trying a recipe #2 trying a raw recipe! The following recipe was coached, but basically his own recipe. He took photos and wrote the recipe for the blog.....
Once again when given the opportunity kids will choose the foods that are better for them. We continue to battle the fact that sugar tastes better (or so our children are taught), but when there is not processed sugar, candies or soda in the house the choices are always healthy. We do get the occasional complaint yet the compliments have been overwhelming. What do you have in your cupboards?
