Ingredients
Instructions
-
Put the water, vegetables, garlic, baobab powder (if using), lemon juice, nutritional yeast, liquid smoke, and seasonings in a soup pot. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it gently simmer until tender.
-
Ladle 2 to 3 cups of the hot broth into a blender. Add half of the veggies and your core Trimmy ingredients: sesame oil, ghee, gelatin, collagen (if using), and lecithin (if using). Hold the blender lid tightly down and whiz until creamy (venting hot air once), then pour into a bowl. Now fill the blender with the rest of the veggies, a couple more cups broth, and the Gluccie. Holding the lid down tightly, whiz until smooth. Scrape the mixture into the soup pot, then pour the contents of the bowl back into the pot, too.
-
Add your protein of choice to the pot. If using whey protein, remove ½ cup of the broth, transfer it to a bowl, add a couple ice cubes to cool the broth down, then stir in the whey with a fork until there are no lumps (if you don’t cool it down it will clump). While stirring constantly, slowly add the whey mix to your soup. Bring the soup back to the desired temperature and add the parsley. Taste test to “own it,” then serve.
Note
Including pasteurized dairy in every single meal can cause stalls, so change it up and give dairy a break! I do list whey powder as one of the protein options, but many dairy-sensitive people can use our Pristine Whey, as the lactose has been removed. However, you can use chicken breast instead.

- For the weight-loss plan, have a big bowlful or two alone or pair with a side salad with lean dressing to stay in FP mode.
- If you add sprouted-grain toast on the side, you’ll be having an E, which is perfectly fine.
- Crossover-stage family members can have generous butter on their toast.
