I usually assign this soup to nutrition newbies since they’re not used to gazing at a bowl of green first thing in the morning. It’s simple, fast, and easy—but it’s no nutrition lightweight!

Directions

  1. Place the ingredients in a high-powered blender and puree until smooth.
  2. Dress with toppings, if desired.
