Immune Boosting Eastern Soup
This soup has just gone down an absolute STORM on our social media platforms. I guess it’s that time of year (in the UK) where we need this stuff to fight the bugs and fortify our bodies against the cold.
Having said that, this would be awesome in the summer served chilled from the fridge with some crushed ice mixed through as a type of gazpacho. We’ll definitely be doing that in 6 months! In the mean time, here’s a note from Richie Norton on this awesome concoction. ENJOY!……..

🤒🌿 After my little stint in the Middle East, the adjustment to the UK winter weather and germs being sneezed all over the place, I've somehow picked up a cough that won't shift (yes I'm human after all)! 🤒
If you've been feeling a bit under the weather or hoping to fight off the winter lurgy, I'd recommend you try some homemade veggie super soups like this green beast 🌿It’s full of antioxidants, vitamin C, E and fibre necessary for a healthy body. It’s really simple to make. Go on - get your apron on and don’t hold back.
Ingredients:
• Rainbow chard (dietary fibre/fat free) • broccoli • spinach • carrots • ginger • bunch of coriander, basil • spring onion • clove of garlic • S&P (chilli if you fancy some heat and coconut cream to garnish.)
Method:
Heat through you vegetables in homemade stock. It’s important that you don’t boil them to death and destroy many of the nutrients. Just a gentle warm through is sufficient. When it’s just right, pop it all in a blender and take it to your desired consistency. With some blending practice you can go from super smooth to slightly textured. We sometimes split the soup into two batches, and blend some to super smooth and mix the rest in to leave some variety - it’s up to you and we’d encourage you to experiment.
This one got drizzed in coconut cream (naughty) as our final garnish!
Enjoy, let us know how you get on and don’t forget to…..

Fluro power! Rainbow Chard
So here’s a funky recipe with some cool Fluro colours that will smash a load of Vitamin C into you and protect you from those winter bugs! I had this for breakfast and it literally turbo charged my morning!
It features one of my all time favourites: Rainbow Chard. Not only does it look cool, but you can eat it raw so it’s great for pimping up your salads and virtually fat-free. It’s an awesome source of dietary fibre and a wicked way to get your vitamins A, K, E, & C. It’s also packed with iron and full of phytochemicals (good for health & healing).
Spending time in Australia literally changed my life. I met so many influential people and had so many adventures. One of the most awesome things I encountered was a movement called “One Wave is all it Takes”.
OneWave is a non-profit surf community tackling funks like depression, anxiety and bipolar with a simple recipe; salt-water, surfing, good mates and Fluro Fridays. They are some of the most awesome people that I’ve ever met and I regularly don my fluro gear (even in London) to raise awareness and spread their messages. Yep - I get a few crazy looks, but I get more smiles and that’s what it’s all about!
Here’s an extract from their website www.onewaveisallittakes.com
It doesn't matter whether you're riding a wave for the first time or the hundredth time…you never forget the feeling of being on a wave, letting everything go and enjoying the moment. OneWave is all it takes... To free the funk. To give you hope.
OneWave holds weekly Fluro Friday sunrise sessions up and down the coast to raise awareness for mental health. We dress up in the brightest outfits possible and surf/swim/do yoga. Fluro makes people smile and it gets people asking important questions, which are normally avoided about mental health. Everyone is welcome and it is a free event.
Fluro Friday are started by everyday people in your community. We would LOVE to see the stigma reduced in your local community. Find your favourite beach and start your own.

Oh - and if you see some crazy dude in Fluro gear on his bike or in a coffee shop in London - it's just me flying the flag for my brothers and sisters at www.onewaveisallittakes.com
