Creamy Asparagus Soup #cleanandlean

August 13, 2017 By jbmumofone Leave a Comment

 

This has become one of my staple clean eating lunches. The original recipe can be found here. Several ingredients have been changed to make it more of a clean and lean recipe and it still tastes almost decadent!

I am currently at the end of week one of Beachbody’s 21 Day Fix and fell off the diet wagon spectacularly towards the end of the week. (Envisage potato gratin meets chocolate meets wine carnage. Ouch.) Today (Sunday) I had to go to work for the morning but have spent the afternoon making the most of the smalls being away on a Grandparent visit and meal prepping for the coming week so I will hopefully do better.

Wish me luck. I need to harness my willpower this time.

Do give this one a whirl and, if you do, please let me know what you think.

Much love,

JB

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
