Strawberry Coconut Smoothie
Ingredients:
1 cup coconut milk
1 frozen banana, sliced
2 cups frozen strawberries
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 scoop plant protein (I use hemp) 

Directions:
  1. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
  




Chunky Red Beet and Tomato Soup

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 
1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice 
2 garlic cloves, minced 
1 28-ounce can whole peeled Italian tomatoes, crushed by hand, juices reserved (low sodium)
2 large beets (1 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces 
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
 ¾ tsp ground cumin, plus more for serving 
¼ tsp cayenne, plus more for seasoning 
Sea salt 
Whole-milk plain organic Greek yogurt, for serving

Directions:
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their juices, the beets, carrots, 3/4 teaspoon of cumin and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne. Season with salt and add enough water to cover the vegetables by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, cover partially and simmer over low heat until the vegetables are very tender, about 1 hour. Remove from the heat and let stand for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
  2. Reheat the soup and season with salt, cumin and cayenne. Serve topped with a dollop of yogurt and a pinch of cumin.
Make Ahead: The soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
