Red cabbage sweet potato turkey soup



Soup is one of my favourite things to eat, especially when it's cold out! This is
a variation of my staple soup I make all winter, ground turkey and cabbage.


Ingredients:
1 package ground turkey
1 large onion
3 cloves garlic
1 medium sweet potato
1 can white beans
1 carton chicken stock (or from scratch)
2 cups spinach
1 bunch cilantro
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 head of red cabbage
Sage
Thyme
Hot chillies

Directions: Coat the bottom of a pot with the oil, add the onions and garlic,
once they are soft add the turkey to brown. Then add the chicken stock and
4-8 cups of water. Add in all veggies, spices and bring to a simmer.

Enjoy!

The Cabbage Blend Smoothie

This is me just wishing I lived on a tropical island

I didn't think my average blender was strong enough to make cool smoothies with carrots, beets or all the weird and wonderful vegetables out there so I haven't been making any smoothies at my house for some time. A few days ago I decided to just try and see if I could blend a beet and make a smooth textured smoothie without steaming the beet first and it worked! I have been so excited ever since that I have been making smoothies every day and my belly is always feeling likes its going to explode, but I mean I have to try it to make sure it tastes good right?
I've been challenging myself to try and put the weirdest vegetables in them that you would think would taste disgusting in a smoothie. That's what led me to this creation: The Cabbage Blend Smoothie. The name really sounds unappealing and that's kind of the humour it in because it is actually so tasty!

Ingredients:
1 orange
~6 strawberries
2 slices of red cabbage
1/4 of a small pineapple
2 tbsp water
3 ice cubes
