Ok, so my Instagram blew up the moment I posted the following pic:
Zucchini Soup, Apple Sauce & Apple Water
Therefore, in attempts to help a few sistas out...here are the recipes featured above:
Zucchini
Soup:
·
½ tbsp.
coconut oil
·
1 small or ½
medium red onion; diced
·
1 medium
zucchini
·
2 small
summer squash
·
½ tbsp.
chives; chopped
·
salt to
taste
In a large pan heat coconut oil until melted at
med-high temperature. Slice zucchini and summer squash in half and roughly chop
into half-moon shaped pieces. Peel and dice the red onion. Chop the chives and
set aside. Once coconut oil is heated, add the onions, zucchini, and summer
squash. Salt to taste. Sautee vegetables until the zucchini and squash soften
slightly and the onions become translucent; you will know the zucchini is ready
when the color changes from white to opaque green. Cooking time
varies depending on the thickness of the veggies, but it usually takes about 15
– 18 minutes.
Once cooked allow to
cool slightly. Add cooled ingredients to blender or baby bullet. Add chives and
blend until smooth. Add no more than ¼ cup of water to dilute mixture if it is
too thick.
Apple Sauce & Water:
8 Gala Apples
4 - 5 cups water
Core, peel and cut in half the 8 apples. Place in large pot and add water. Place on high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for approx. 20 mins.
Take off the heat and allow to cool. Once cooled, strain the apples and puree to desired consistency. Pour the water in which you boiled the apples through a mesh colander into a large glass container and give this to your lil' one as "apple juice". Keep juice and sauce refrigerated.
