Recipe
Ingredients:
28 oz fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 jar 12 oz roasted red bell pepper, *excess water drained
Salt & pepper to taste
1 bunch fresh parsley
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Optional add-in: jalapeño, if you like it spicy
Method:
1.) Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender & blend till smooth.
2.) Heat a pot over medium-high heat and pour blender contents in pot. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer for 20-30 minutes. I left mine to simmer for 30-minutes to bring out more flavors. Store leftovers in a glass jar in fridge.

You know when you eat something sweet and then later in the day you start feeling sluggish and tired? That sugar crash feeling is from a sharp rise in blood sugar levels followed by a decline. Having consistent blood sugar levels provides us with a consistent energy boost. By structuring our meals in a balanced pattern, you will be less likely to experience a “sugar crash”.
