Healthy eating isn’t about fad diets or drastic changes. As you know if you’ve read my book “Eat Beautiful,” it’s about eating healthy, organic, and seasonal foods. It’s about taking small steps that you tailor to your needs and approach beauty from the inside out. It’s nearly impossible to choose between the Eat Beautiful recipes that I love to cook, but there’s one in particular that I turn to again and again to rejuvenate and “detox.” My kale soup is the food version of skin-cleansing, with delicious kale, fennel, leeks, garlic, and onion. All of this adds up to a serious health injection. Give the recipe below a try and let me know what you think! Instagram.
