Turkey taco soup

This recipe is BEST flu remedy! I have a 24 hour something and I need something that gives me protein, veggies and makes me feel like I am eating "feel better" soup! 



Here is what you need: 

1 pound lean ground turkey 
1/2 chopped onion 
1/2 of a chopped zucchini 
1 can of corn (drained) 
2 cans of diced tomato 
1 can of beans (drained) black, pinto or any other bean you prefer 
1 tsp cummin 
2 tsp chili powder 
1/2 tsp salt 
2 cups of water 
Half of a chopped jalapeño 
1 tsp garlic 
Sliced avocado (optional) 
Chopped cilantro (optional) 


Directions: 

In a deep sauce pan, brown meat with zucchini and onion. Add caned foods, spices, jalapeño and water. Bring to a boil and then cover and cook on low for 20 minutes. 




Serve with avocado or cilantro and enjoy! 


This soup is great if you want something warm and filling but don't want to loose your health and fitness progress. I always make sure to drain any canned goods to get rid of excess sodium. Spices are crucial for optimal taste, so use them up!

Coffee updates! FOOD CRAVINGS

Yesterday I posted about spicing up your coffee and I had a hit this morning by putting coconut oil in my coffee and with dairy free coconut creamer. It was seriously delightful! Not to mention its great for you, it has been said that if you consume coconut oil your metabolism increases throughout the day! Try it :) Let me know if you have done this before. Also, I found this interesting! I crave foods that I should not be eating ALL the time, this list totally makes so much sense. I will give it a try and let you know what I come up with. I crave sugar mostly so I really need to dial it in on what to put in my body when this happens. Normally, wine does the trick but does that count as fresh fruit ;)         Here is the article if any of you want to read more in-depthly!   http://www.herbs-info.com/blog/what-food-cravings-are-telling-you-about-your-nutrition/
