Mung Bean, Squash and Spinach Soup

October 10, 2015 By Hana Leave a Comment

Mung Bean, Squash and Spinach Soup

Last week I’ve done a 4 day gentle detox and this Mung Bean, Squash and Spinach Soup has been my dinner for 3 days. I absolutely loved it, so I’ve made it again this week to share the recipe with you. I’ve followed 4 day food based cleanse from a book called Woman Code by Alisa Vitti. She has included a mung bean minestrone recipe in the book to have during the cleanse, which I have slightly adapted.

Mung Bean, Squash and Spinach Soup

It’s a lovely warming nutritious bowl of goodness bursting with flavours, perfect for dinner during those cooler days. I’m becoming a big fan of mung beans really, they cook quickly, are very tasty and make a great curry. This recipe makes a large pot and hopefully you’ll have plenty of leftovers for couple of days. You can play and add different spices – turmeric, cumin or coriander to your taste. You can also make it thicker and serve it with rice for a more substantial meal.

Happy New Year beautiful! ✨ I’m feeling that Happy New Year beautiful! ✨

I’m feeling that this is the year we all need to ease into. Use this sacred pause we’re in until the 5th of January to really go within and listen deeply to what are you being called to birth this year. Forget creating goals from your ego. What are those whispers of your soul calling you to? Is it time to take the lead in your life? ✨

If this year is a continuation of 2020 we will need more conscious embodied leaders taking charge to create the change our planet needs. It’s us who create the future. ✨

Now that many of us are awake we need conscious women and men to walk together hand in hand! We’ve got this! 

✨🕊✨

Sending so much Love Hana xx

What dessert are you making this year? To be honest I’ve got my gingerbread cookies stored in fridge, the leftover chocolate cranberry orange cake in freezer so I’m quite sorted! But still pondering whether to make the gingerbread cheesecake. And just have written a new recipe for a lentil nut roast which I’m really looking forward to making on Christmas Day. 🎄

Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cake 🌱 @amoredimona Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cake 🌱 @amoredimona has challenged me to create vegan, grain-free and nut-free chocolate recipe and so I took on the challenge with this layer cake. And I have finally experienced with cassava and tigernut flours, something I’ve been wanting to do for ages. If you fancy some grain-free baking check out the recipe on the blog. 😉

Have a wonderful weekend beautiful! ✨
