Guess what? I’m busy. Are you busy?
Yeah that’s what I thought.
Well I have good news my friend.
First , it’s soup soup season.
Second, this delicious carrot soup recipe only has five ingredients. (other than oil and salt)
Third, this soup is loaded with antioxidants, vitamin A to make your skin glow , fiber to keep you full, fat to keep blood sugars stable, and ginger to fight inflammation. Your body is going to thank you for serving up a big bowl of this.
Raw vs Roasted
Think munching on raw carrots is the best way to eat these guys?
Nope! Research shows cooking carrots actually increases the antioxidants !
5-Ingredient Carrot Ginger Soup
Ingredients
- 1 lb bag of carrots, halved (around 10 medium carrots)
- 2/3 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 2 Tbsp fresh ginger, peeled
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup plain coconut yogurt (I love cocojune and Culina)
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp Himalayan pink sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Toss carrots and onion in avocado oil and 1 tsp salt
- Roast onion and carrots for 30-35 minutes until lightly browned.
- Add roasted carrot and onion, ginger, brtoh, coconut yogurt, and additional 1 tsp sea salt to Vitamix, blender, food processor, or (my favorite option) an immersion blender.
Notes
- If you don’t have coconut yogurt you can substitute canned coconut milk, but it will be a little less creamy.
- Chicken broth can be swapped for bone broth for additional protein and gut-healing properties.
- I love topping this soup with homemade kale chips and sprouted pumpkin seeds.
Enjoy!

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that affects millions of women in the United States. PCOS results in debilitating symptoms, long term complications, and is one of the most common causes of infertility in the US. Sadly, for many women it takes years to finally get a diagnosis. For the women who do get diagnosed, they usually don’t know where to begin when it comes to addressing their PCOS naturally. I’ve worked with so many women who are just told to go on birth control to “fix” their PCOS. Birth control not only doesn’t fix PCOS - it can actually cause more issues! Although PCOS is a complex disorder, nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle changes can significantly slow its progression and reduce symptoms. In fact, many of my clients with PCOS have been able to put their PCOS in remission naturally. In this article, we’ll cover: What is PCOS?

Fifteen years ago, my digestive issues sparked my interest in gut health. I was amazed that there were thousands of research studies showing connections between our gut and the health of our immune system, our skin, our brain, and more. I was even more amazed that no one was talking about it! Now gut health is a hot topic, and I’m glad. Our gut health is at an all-time low because of antibiotics, processed food, high stress levels, pesticides, antibacterial soaps, and other gut damaging factors that are so prevalent in the modern world. If you’re unsure about your own gut health, start by asking yourself these three important questions.

I absolutely love cooking, but baking is something I rarely do. When I do decide to bake my goal is to make something delicious, with simple steps and minimal clean-up. Any time I'm in the kitchen I want it to be as relaxing as possible, especially around the Holidays. I created this pumpkin bar recipe years ago, but I come back to it again and again. You can quickly mix up these healthy pumpkin bars for a Thanksgiving dinner, Friendsgiving gathering, or sweet treat for yourself. But first - Is pumpkin a Fall fad or is it a healthy addition to our Fall recipes? Is pumpkin actually healthy? Here are some pumpkin nutrition highlights: Full of fiber: Fiber keeps you full, stabilizes blood sugars, supports estrogen metabolism, and regulates digestion. Loaded with vitamin A : One cup of pumpkin contains 245% of the daily recommended amount! Vitamin A prevents collagen breakdown (aka less wrinkles), supports thyroid function, increases iron absorption , and enhances the positive effects of vitamin D. Mineral-rich: Pumpkin is a rich source of magnesium, manganese, copper, phosphorus, zinc and iron. These minerals support energy production, promote hormone balance, keep your immune system in tip-top shape, and more. No, It’s not always healthy Yes, pumpkin is healthy. BUT don’t grab a slice of pumpkin bread and assume it’s automatically healthy. A slice of pumpkin bread from Starbucks has 40 grams of sugar.
