Guess I'm on a soup kick, heheh...
I just returned from the kitchen where the following savoury & smooth, slightly rich-tasting, even a little nutty, blended soup emerged, so again, since it's tres healthy, I wanted to share it here.
It really is surprisingly decadent tasting, and with the whole pot, (likely 4 modest/starter servings worth), amounting to no more than likely 350 calories, I myself am even a bit impressed.
INGREDIENTS:
200 grams Raw Spinach
100 Grams Italian Parsley, (had to use it up)
125 ml Soya "Creme"
4 cloves garlic
1 large onion
16 Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup of water
1 teaspoon Curry Powder
1 teaspoon Soya Sauce
1 teaspoon of Balsamic Vinegar
1 teaspoon Chicken Bouillon Powder
Seasalt and fresh ground pepper, (always fresh), to taste
Throw it all in a blender 'til smooth and simmer for about half an hour.
It has an almost coconut-milky taste with the nutty quality of the Soy Cream and I'm glad I actually wrote what I did down this time, as I'll surely be making this again.
Bon Ap,
Minu

Hi! I'm a 44 year-old slightly overweight male looking to loose 30lbs by the end of year. For me, weight loss is just one part of an overall plan for living a healthier lifestyle (as healthy a lifestyle as possible!) In addition to diet and exercise, other elements of my healthy way of life include good sleep, proper hydration, kicking the (smoking) habit, meditation, and disease management (I have rheumatoid arthritis).
I signed up at Traineo because maintaining routines has always been difficult for me. 3 years ago however, after many tries, I was finally able to maintain an exercise routine for a period of 6 months with outstanding results. I then stopped working out so I'd have more time for other things and 3 months later the RA got worse. Since then I've been unable to motivate myself back into the gym.
Well, my motivation is back, due in part to Traineo. I think having a few motivators will be a great help. Also, posting my efforts on the Internet, for the whole world to see, may help to keep me on my toes. I'm not entirely sure about that yet so I may change my profile so only Traineo members can see it.
I'm strong willed, but most of all I crave the results I achieved 3 years ago. So I'm determined, and thus far my spirits remain high. I sure am glad you stopped to read about me and great luck with your own efforts! Cheers!

Spinach, parsley, garlic, onions and tomatoes - another healthy treat! I really like how this is all done in a blender! With winter knocking on the door and a new diet commitment in hand, I'm going to have to check on blender-only soup cookbooks. Definitely the way to go. Cheers! and thanks Minu!

A few ups and downs with the weight lately. Losing those last 10 lbs again now.
Revised fitness plan:
-some cardio EVERY day for a month to remove the revenge of the hip fat
-some weight training, some pilates
-I love biking and lots of fun summer sports! That's what it's all about-good times!
I will eat healthy foods and let my body weigh what it wants to weigh. I concentrate on whole grains, lean proteins, fruits and veggies, and I will eat delicious chocolate when I want to! Guilt has been removed from my vocabulary.
The wave of passion can be an unstoppable force.
To get what you've never had, you must do what you've never done.
Procrastination is opportunity's natural assassin.

That's gorgeous, Minu! You should do your own cookbook.
This reminds me...I'll have to look for my recipe for spinach alfredo sauce over pasta--sold to my kids as "alien noodles". It worked for them!
