Raw Spinach & Avocado soup

2 cups Spinach

1 courgette

1 clove garlic

½ avocado

1/3 block creamed coconut
 (you may need to melt this first, if you dont have a powerful blender, alternatively, you can use 1 can of coconut cream and only use 2 cups water, instead of 4 cups)

3 Tbl olive oil

4 cups warm water

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp spirulina powder

Blend all the ingredients together well until smooth and creamy, eat immediately whilst still warm. To reheat, simmer on a low temperature, in a saucepan until warm to not bring to the boil. Garnish with sundried tomatoes and fresh basil or herbs of your choice. Drizzle with flaxoil or olive oil.

Spinach is anti inflammatory, contains antioxidants, vitamin C, E and beta carotene, manganese, zinc, selenium and others. It may combat the onset of osteoarthritis and high blood pressure. One cup of spinach contains 1000% of the RDA for vitamin K, which prevents osteoclasts (the cells that break down bones). It also promotes the synthesis of osteocalcin for maintaining strength and density of bones. Popeye was onto a good thing!
