Sometimes you don’t have much to say but you just want to post a recipe. I don’t know about you, but I usually just scroll down to the recipe anyway. So, I’ll save you some scrolling and just tell you….

Why It’s A Smart Choice

This soup is full of healthy fats. The coconut flakes and milk have medium chain fats that are preferentially used by the body for energy instead of storage, and may cause a slight, temporary increase in metabolism after consumption.

The hemp hearts contain omega 3 fatty acids, which are great for the immune system, skin, hair, and a healthy heart. 

And then there’s the pumpkin.  Pumpkin has 33% more potassium than a banana, 50% the Vitamin A of carrots, and is a great source of lutein and zeaxanthan, which promote healthy eyes. 

If you give this recipe a go, let me know! Leave a comment, rate it, or snap a photo and tag it with #smartnutritionrecipes on Instagram!  I’d love to see your creations! Knowing someone has enjoyed one of my recipes always makes my day brighter.

    Very tasty and quick and easy to make! Only thing is I didn’t find it super filling so I added some boiled potatoes that I had in the fridge. That made it really hearty!
