This is a repost from a month or so ago when I broke my 45.
I noticed a few people are ready to break, as always here, and I thought I'd share it again...NO SALT we don't need and everyone loves it...I made it for 3 weeks ...
and making a batch tonight(just thinking of it made me crave). I promise you will love it.

End the cleanse right and make it yourself. treat your freshly cleansed body right!
It's so easy and so tasty...no salt, yum...
here is how I make it...
take some sliced carrots, tomato,celery, onion, garlic and the 'decent' trimmings from whatever else you want in the soup, and roast them in a preheated oven at 300 for about 30 minutes,turning once. You want carmelized. Throw them in a gallon or two of water along with some fresh basil, some rosemary,thyme,oregano,sage, 2-3 bay leaves,an onion, minced garlic,etc--10 peppercorns and simmer,covered at low boil for about 70-90 minutes.
While it's cooking away cut up your veggies. You cut up ,you...
Strain/screen (not a spaghetti collander)the broth and then toss in the 'harder' veggies(carrots,spuds,some(3-5 cloves) minced garlic,an onion,ground pepper,cayenne pepper,ground cumin), then gradually throw in everything one type at a time,ending with mushrooms and the things that cook quick.
That's it...play with it anyway you like...if you want some beans in there ,sprout them a couple days before and either pressure cook them or regular cook to soften ,then add to the soup. You can add barley with the carrots. However, if you did the
Master-Cleanse to loose weight , stay away from starch for awhile. You'll soak it up.
Roasting/carmelizing the stock vegetables really brings out the flavor. You don't have to roast though if you don't want to ...I mostly make my stock with the trim that I throw away anyway, so it is not much more expensive other than some carrots , a few stalks of celery,onion,etc...I even use potato peels(put the meat of potato in h2o as not to brown ,till you toss in soup).
some ideas:
carrots
brocolli
cauliflower
celery
zuchini
onion
garlic
red pepper
green pepper
egg plant
mushroom
potato
bok choy
fennel
daikon
peas
corn
soy beans
anything else you like
An hour ,off and on in the kitchen for 3-4 days worth of food...a breeze and so much better than the shelf. I could eat it for a month!
Last Saturday I made the best batch ever. Make extra and freeze it if you like, though for me it is too damn good to save...mmm.
Ace the 'natural' canned ...you are worth it...convenience???? How 'convenient' was/is the MC...only as convenient as you make it...
buy a pressure cooker and make your own beans(always soak for 10 hours to sprout) etc...
It's so much fun and more rewarding to govern what goes in our mouths.
Get rid of the canned/processed lifestyle as much as possible and you won't have to do the MCs so often...your body will thank you . Don't you deserve it...enjoy!!!
