So easy to make and no one will EVER know it's a RAW soup!

Blend all of the below ingredients in a high-speed blender. (I use a Vita- Mix)

Blend on high for a minute or two, until it's warmed and creamy.

• 3 cups filtered and warmed water - Not boiling
• 2 cups chopped, raw (uncooked) broccoli (one head of broccoli)
• 1 cup of raw, soaked cashews. (Nuts soaked for 20 minutes in water are best) but it's OK not to soak if you don't have time.
• 1 T raw agave syrup (or 1 tsp of raw honey)
• 1 large avocado
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1/2 to 1 tsp. sea salt
• 1 tsp. onion powder. You can use raw onion, but I find it a bitter in the soup.
• 1 T. cumin powder
• 1/8 tsp. black pepper

I eat this soup for dinner at least once a week. You can also use soaked almonds, but almonds need to soak on water for 8 hours. I've also used almond butter (3/4 cup) in place of nuts. All versions are delicious, but cashews make the creamiest soup.

This a hearty and very satiating soup. Left overs will keep in the fridge for 2 days.

This is a message from the Emergency Broadcasting System. Federal, state and local authorities have developed this system to keep you informed in the event of an emergency.

This is NOT a test. America is in crisis!
Follow these 3 simple instructions to save your life.
Are you ready? OK, here’s what you need to do immediately:

#1 Eat a whole food, plant-based diet.
Why? Because all of the nutrients you need including fiber and antioxidants are only found in plant-based foods. And there are no nutrients in animal-based foods, including protein, that are not better provided by plants.

#2 Do not eat meat and dairy products to get your protein.
Why? Animal products are killing you! Yes, you heard me correctly. It’s the truth we’ve been hiding from you for decades. In fact, over 40 years of research proves that animal based protein causes cancer, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, MS, and a host of other chronic diseases.

#3 Stay away from processed, packaged foods.
They are void of nutrients and laden with toxic chemicals.
If you want to get healthy, prevent and even reverse diseases, lose weight, have more energy and feel great then you must act now! Tell your friends and neighbors. This is a national emergency!

If this had NOT been an actual emergency, then you would not be living in a country where one-third of the adult population is obese.
