In summer, as we prefer to eat light, pies, salads, or other cold soups are popular. Easy to prepare, rich in vitamins and nutrients… In an interview with Madame Figaro, Audrey Blind, nutritionist and author of the preface to My Health and Wellness Juice Bible, by Sandra Ericson, explains how to get all the benefits .
Audrey Blind recommends water but also vegetable milks. We avoid coconut milk because of its saturated fats and we completely forget cube broths, ready-to-use stocks or industrial spice mixes, which are far too salty. To flavor soups, we prefer fresh herbs or a little spice.
Thus, for a draining soup, we will bet on fennel, black radish or kale, when to obtain a soup with more vitamins, we will prefer carrots, tomatoes, red lentils and squash, mixed with lemon juice. 'orange. To know if you are on a healthy diet:cold avocado-based soups and gazpachos should be consumed in moderation because of their olive oil content.
According to the nutritionist, cooking alters food, but it also makes it more digestible. As for cold soups prepared with raw vegetables, they have the advantage of retaining all the vitamins and nutrients. The ideal is therefore to have a little of both.
Consisting mainly of water, cold soup cannot constitute a complete meal because when you only eat "liquid", you do not respond to satiety. It is therefore necessary to add a food to chew (chewing leads to the process of satiety), such as bread for example. Then, if we like it too much and decide to eat cold soup every day, we take care to balance the meal with proteins and starches, to add either directly to the soup (for example a few chickpeas or red beans), or in addition to the soup… The preparation must also be eaten chilled and never frozen. Eating ice cream is terribly bad for your digestion!
So, ready to get started?
