6. Energy Soup

If coming home to a hot apartment, turning on your stoves, and making yourself a healthy meal sounds like your own personal version of Hell, one great solution is blending up a batch of “Energy Soup.” You can find recipes for energy soup all over the internet, but the general idea is like a super healthy gazpacho.

One we like to make consists of an avocado, a peeled cucumber, spinach, kale, coconut water, and any other miscellaneous veggies lying around in the fridge.  Throw it in a blender, add spices to taste, chill for an hour, and eat your daily dose of veggies in one delicious bowl. Make this ahead of time for a few nights and you don’t even have to worry about chopping and blending for a couple of days.
