Energy Soup
 Energy Soup is a unique and delicious food that helps us to alkalize, detoxify and heal by
providing super nourishment. For busy, health conscious people it’s a godsend. For
someone who is recovering from a serious illness the live enzymes and easy digestion of
Energy Soup make it indispensable!
Chlorophyll (the green pigment) helps our blood to carry more oxygen by easily converting to
hemoglobin. The main difference between the chlorophyll and hemoglobin molecule is that the
former has a magnesium atom at the center and the latter has an iron atom. Our bodies can
exchange the iron for the magnesium to build more red blood cells!
Energy Soup
Yields 1 pint
Combine the following in the blender:
• 1 apple, diced (peeled if
inorganic)
• 2c pure water*
• 2c romaine lettuce, or other
greens, washed under running
water, then cut or torn
• 1/2 avocado, or 1/2 cup
presoaked seeds or nuts
• 1tsp. spirulina (as seen in the
photo to the right), optional
Blend the first two ingredients on low,
using “stop/start” action to get it going,
then increase power. Add remaining
ingredients and blend until you have
the consistency you like. Eat
immediately for the greatest enzyme
benefit.
*Dr. Ann Wigmore always used a
fermented grain beverage in this
recipe, but the quality of mine varied
so much that I finally stopped using it
and replaced it with water. If you
would like to try your hand at it, see
directions for Rejuvelac on p. 35, in
Organic Annie’s Fresh Tastes for
Breakfast. Or replace 1/2c of the
water above with sauerkraut liquid.
Choosing Your Greens
Choose tender leaves from: parsley, cilantro*, endive, escarole, romaine lettuce, dandelion,
wild lettuce, chicory, spinach, chard, purslane, mallow, field daisy, chickweed, plantain, sorrel
(small amount), comfrey, amaranth, lambsquarters, yellow or sour dock, violet, sow thistle. See Wild Foods
Avoid cruciferous (cabbage family) greens if you have or suspect that you have an underactive
(hypo-) thyroid, for they contain a natural chemical—goitrogen--which blocks iodine absorption
in the thyroid. Especially high are: cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, mustard greens
and turnip tops.
*Known to chelate lead, mercury and aluminum and take it out of the body through the urine.
Note: Always remove any tough, fibrous parts because, unlike Green Drink, featured in the
March 2006 issue, this does not get strained. See recommended greens below.
