Me:

I just get lazy to squish all the water out of tofu but the air fryer is so fast. And my bf doesn’t eat tofu so I feel unmotivated to make it all for myself but I’d rather eat tofu than meat so

Freezing coffee in ice cube tray so I can make coffee flavored frozen yogurt later

Annnnnnd finally cooked veggie detox soup! A little spicy 🌶 but filling and super low cal and tons of benefits!

I have the Instant Pot so I just poured:

half a quart of bone broth

Baggie of shaved Brussels sprouts (about 3 cups)

2 cups of shaved carrots

Half a chopped yellow onion

1 inch of grated ginger

2 cloves of roasted garlic

Fresh ground pepper

Few shakes of cayenne powder

Few shakes of curry powder

Few shakes of turmeric

Splash of olive oil

1 cup frozen kale

1 cup frozen spinach

1 can of black eyed peas (with the water)

Manual high pressure cook for 15 mns

The veggies were really thick, but when they cook some of the water comes out so it gets more soupy after it cooks. It makes tons of servings so make sure there’s space in your fridge to keep it! It’s really filling with all the high fiber veggies but everything is nice and soft and I personally like spicy but if you don’t, make sure you’re really careful with the cayenne or leave it out altogether.

Turmeric is anti inflammatory, bone broth contains collagens, and the cayenne/ginger is fat burning. Cruciferous veggies and garlic & onions fight cancer. Black eyed peas are a low fat source of protein and more fiber. You can also use white beans or another kind of legume.

The veggies and spices can be adjusted based on your preferences. For example, I love shredded cabbage or bok choy but my Whole Foods was out of coleslaw mix, so I used Brussels sprouts because it’s also a cruciferous veggie, and strong enough to hold up in the cooked soup just like cabbage. I also like daikon radish in soup, but they didn’t have good radishes this week either so I skipped it. There is so much fiber in this soup that I can’t even eat much of it, and it’s not calorie dense at all so it’s amazing that it’s so filling.

You can use tomatoes and bell peppers too if you don’t mind eating nightshades, and mushrooms if you eat fungus. If you want meat, you can add shredded chicken breast. If you don’t like curry flavors, you can use Italian seasoning or something else like thyme and rosemary. (It doesn’t taste like curry though, the ginger gives it a fresh flavor and the cayenne adds heat.)
