Raw Carrot-Ginger Soup w/ Cilantro Drizzle (Vegan, GF)

I don't know about any of you guys, but my body has been screaming for a detox. Probably because each year in the past, around this time, my mom and sisters along with myself would do a detox together for a week or so. Once I lasted a whole month! And lived to tell the tale, obviously :) I don't really enjoy detoxing but coming up with fun edible items such as this soup makes me more excited to actually follow through with it. This soup is super easy to digest and contains ginger which is also good for digestive health, or so I hear...The drizzle just adds a certain"je ne sais quoi" to a seemingly "boring" soup base. I must add: this was made with a magic bullet, so don't worry if you don't have a vitamix/blendtec.

4 medium carrots
1 1/2 spring onions
good chunk of ginger, however much you can handle
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup water
2 tsp miso paste
1/2 an avocado (optional)
Pinch of sea salt, to taste


Drizzle:
4 tbsp olive oil
cilantro
Pinch of salt


Assemble all soup ingredients into blender. Blend for a few minutes until desired consistency reached. Add additional salt, ginger, lemon to taste. Assemble drizzle ingredients in blender, blend. Drizzle into soup. Makes 2 servings.


Along with soup, you gotta have salad!
This is a salad I made, dressed with Foods Alive Dressings:
