After a 7 day juice fast, I was dying for something hearty yet healthy. Being on a juice fast requires a transition period. Having had an abundance of vegetables in the refrigerator, a beet and kale soup seemed right up my alley! Recipe is simple, full of vitamins, fiber and tastes damn good!
Get cooking folks!

- 2 large beets
- 6 stalks of Kale (chopped – discard stalks)

Beet & Kale Soup
I will ask my cook to try this over the weekend. It looks delicious..
It’s a very simple, healthy recipe.
This sounds really good. I am totally intrigued by the juice fast and was trying to talk my husband into doing one with me lol.
The Juice Fast we did was more of a smoothie like texture. It is one I came up with after discovering that everything else that was out there was either too expensive, or hard on the body. I will have a post dedicated to the juice fast at the end of the week. You should try it
