Jenny has kindly shared a recipe with us which contains spinach, a vegetable packed with vitamins and minerals.
Cashew Nut and Spinach Soup
Green leafy vegetables really are a superfood – and
spinach is no exception. Optimising cellular health is a key anti-cancer
strategy and spinach is a fantastic source of B vitamins, which are essential
for cellular energy production. It also contains high quantities of natural
folate, one of the vitamins to protect against anaemia. Folate is essential for
cell replication and the very important process of methylation which regulates
gene expression.
Spinach is also a rich source of minerals including
magnesium, an essential nutrient for energy production, the maintenance and
repair of healthy cells and bone health, and one of the best plant sources of
iron.
This soup is fast to make, particularly if the vegetables
are pre-cooked. It’s just simply a case of blending cashews, vegetables, hot
water and stock to have a meal on the table in minutes.
The coconut cream can be switched for soft goat’s cheese if you are including goat’s dairy within your eating plan.
