Picture
1. Heat one T. of ghee in a large pot on medium heat.
Picture
2. Add one t. mustard seeds and stir until you hear them pop in the pan.
Picture
3. Add one chopped onion and one chopped leek and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to caramelize.
Picture
4. Add washed and chopped asparagus (1 bunch), kale (1 bunch) and 2 zucchini.
Picture
Any type of kale is great!
Picture
No need to chop it perfectly because you will blend it all at the end.
Picture
5. Add 1 teaspoon of turmeric and 1.5 teaspoons of Himalayan pink salt. Stir well.
Picture
Pink salt is better for blood pressure.
Picture
6. Add 3 cups of hot water to the pot and boil for 5 minutes. Then pour soup into a blender and blend until smooth.
PictureI usually add a dollop of whole plain yogurt on top. So good!
 As the seasons change it is important that we change our diet to help keep our bodies in balance with the shifts that are occurring in our external environment. It is ideal to consume more bitter, pungent, and astringent tastes in springtime because these tastes help to reduce the excess kapha (earth and water) that has accumulated over the chilly winter months.
Please feel free to share this recipe with your friends!
Love,
Britt

"There are so many gifts that I received from working with Brittany as my Ayurvedic Counselor. She has an amazing ability to see people and was able to help me express exactly what I was feeling but had no idea how to articulate. From the big life themes to the slight yet profound adjustments to the way I live my life, I am feeling more vibrant and healthy than ever! I feel blessed to have worked with Brittany and strongly recommend her."
- Audrey J. San Francisco Ca.


"In just a few sessions, Brittany helped me feel healthier, calmer, and more alive. She has the warmest heart and spirit of anyone you'll ever meet plus she gives you helpful information so you get the results that you want. She really listened to my needs and helped me create changes that worked for me and continue to work for me to this day. Throughout all of our sessions, I felt very taken care of and listened to!"
- Lindsay C. Berkeley Ca.
