Many of you have been interested in the cleanse I posted about a few weeks back so I thought I’d show you the “Extremely Healthy Fat Burning Soup” recipe. I’ve made it a few times already and I must tell you it makes A LOT. Usually I’ll make the Cleanse Fat Burning Soup and split it with a friend doing the cleanse with me or you can freeze half of it for later if you want.
I’m sticking loosely to the cleanse this week to get beach body ready and pairing it with lots of Pure Barre, of course. The hubs and I are super excited to be going down to a friend’s beach place this weekend for Memorial Day. I’m pretty sure if Eric had a nickel for every time I said “I’m so excited for the beach!” he’d be a rich man by now.
This fat burning soup recipe is my loose version of Clean Eating friendly by getting whole wheat macaroni noodles and including lots of veggies. This recipe does involve a lot of chopping and dicing of veggies so I usually cut up the veggies the night before and then get the soup together the next day so it doesn’t take a large chunk out of my afternoon.
Here’s what the cleanse booklet has to say about this fat burning soup, “This soup is intended as a supplement to your diet. It can be eaten any time of the day and virtually in unlimited quantities. It is cholesterol free and virtually fat free.” Recipe yields 16 servings at 1 cup each and has 158 cals per serving.
I would encourage you to add any other seasonings you think may be good to it. Just play with the seasonings and see what you like best. I just picked up this Tony’s Salt-Free Blend and am hoping to love it.

Question how does the cleanse go with the soup and the smoothies?
Hi Heather,
Thanks for reading MLWL & for leaving a comment. I’m not sure what you mean? What smoothies? Have a lovely day!
