You've come to the right place for yummy, healthy soup! Switch up your juice regimen a bit by juicing your meal! Are you tired of replacing a meal with juice on your diet or you just want some fresh, healthy recipes?
Your juicer can make some wonderful soup! It’s a great way to get that concentrated nutrition into a meal instead of a juice glass.
All of these recipes are raw (meaning uncooked and living) but if you prefer cooked versions and want to make them warm I’ve included directions to do that too. Your juicer can help you make both cooked and raw. Try out both!
These all make about 1-2 servings depending on your appetite and bowl size :) They take only a few minutes to prepare and are super nutritious! Double, tripple or half the recipe according to your serving size needs.
