Its Thanksgiving! for my fantastic Amercian friends I have a lovely healthy dish for you. If you’re looking for a delicious, healthy seasonal option without piling on the pounds then try this wonderful raw soup. Sweetened with apples and enriched with a little almond milk this is so creamy yet fabulously healthy. Butternut squash is rich in carotenoids, vitamins A and C which are important for our immune health and fresh, glowing skin. It also contains plenty of soluble fibre helping to keep you feeling fuller for longer, making it easier to resist those sugary snacks. You need a high powered blender or food processor for this recipe. I use my Vita mix which blends up the soup in seconds. If you wish to warm it slightly then place in pan or spoon into a bowl and reheat in the dehydrator.
