Summary: This is a basic raw vegan green soup that you can customise to your very own personal preference. I like to use spinach as my greens, but feel free to substitute weeds or your favourite greens if you wish. You can use more or less of tomato / cucumber / celery if you wish, add other vegetables like yellow bell pepper or courgette ; different seeds or even seed butter (nuts / nut butter for a non nut-free soup). The Spirulina is packed with nutrition : vitamins, minerals, protein, iron, beta-carotene, antioxidants and even essential fatty acids ! And because it is so rich in Chlorophyll, it is a great superfood to add to your diets if you don't consistently eat (or drink) your greens. But the soup is absolutely delicious without it too.
Great for a light and refreshing lunch or snack, or as a starter. And you will be surprised, but many children actually love it !

Summary: As unlikely as the association might sound, it seems like everywhere in Sweden, pizza is always served with a simple side salad of cabbage. The salad is delicious, and is a welcome addition to a pizza meal. Whether you enjoy this salad with pizza, as a side salad with a burger or even a chilli, or as a starter, what is certain is that you will not find a better way to eat raw cabbage : the salad is incredibly quick and easy to prepare and really does taste amazing, so much better than you would expect raw cabbage dressed with a few simple ingredients to taste ! Swedish Cabbage Salad is traditionally made with white cabbage and a little red bell pepper, but in this recipe I use red cabbage for that extra boost of colour and nutrition, and chilli flakes.

Summary: Chickpeas, like all pulses, are high in fibre and protein, making them an all-round health food. Just one cup of cooked chickpeas provide us with half our recommended daily fibre intake. They are also a good source of phytoestrogens. Don't be fooled by how easy this salad is to put together, it is really delicious and very filling.
