Home sweet home from a week away in Florida and ready to get back to clean eating starting with this delicious creamy cauliflower soup made just from plants. Full of gut fueling fiber and veggies rich in phytochemicals and carotenoids, this detoxifying soup is the perfect way to get back on track.  

Phytochemicals and carotenoids protect our bodies from free radical damage and enhance our bodies natural detoxification mechanisms. Veggies from the brassica family like cauliflower and broccoli are especially rich in glucosinolates which play a powerful role in mitigating oxidative stress which you accumulate throughout the day and removing toxins from our body. 

Indulging on vacation is kind of a must but man does it feel good to get back to eating foods that make me feel my best!
