Mung Bean Detox and Weight Loss Soup
Mung beans are the perfect food to keep you feeling full all the while cleaning your intestines and super charging weight loss. Eat this soup for a 3 day fast and cleanse your body
Mung beans are high in soluble fiber cleaning the intestine walls thoroughly. The soluble fiber in mung bean mixes with fluid in the digestive tract forming a gel-like substance, which in turn works as a cleaning agent ridding the intestines of all that built up gunk accumulated over time. This prepares the intestines to better absorb nutrients from the foods you eat eliminating those nagging cravings causing you to overeat because your body is was unable to be satisfied. Once you cleanse with mung beans you will benefit from proper absorption of nutrients and no longer being plagued by cravings. To get started on this amazing cleanse you will want to buy mung beans. Follow along as I explain how and where to get the best mung beans and make this amazing mung bean weight loss and detox soup.

Green Mung Beans
I ran out much quicker than I expected. I found myself running out to buy more and now keep a large air tight container filled with mung beans as they are a great addition to many dishes. We love mung beans.
You want to buy organic green mung beans as organic is always the best choice. You can find them in the bulk section of your grocery store. I buy them at my local organic market. Most grocery stores carry them in the section where you find those large bins side by side with the pull down handles releasing the product into bags you but at the bottom opening. This is where you find the bulk value. Plus you will want a large quantity on hand.

I started with this recipe but quickly moved on to doubling it as I go through it in a short time. I enjoy eating mung bean soup as I'm a busy working Mom who often doesn't like to take a lot of time preparing food. I store the soup in the fridge after I make a batch in the morning. I take out a cup sized portion and micro wave it, add a fresh squeeze of lemon (sometimes red hot sauce) and enjoy. I've even been known to eat this for breakfast.

Do Mung Beans Cause Gas
Because mung beans are easily digested and easy on the stomach they are far less likely to cause gas than any other bean.
Soaking beans over night releases the gas causing agents. You may notice a bit of foaming in the water, this is the gas causing agents being released. The spices added to this mung bean soup makes it even more digestible therefore causing no gas. Some people are more pron to gas than others this should lessen once you clean your intestine of all the gas causing irritants lining your intestine and bowel. Let's face it some of us have more built up gunk on our intestines than others.

Look for stores like, Raisin Rack, Whole Foods, Trader Joes (which has just about everything but mung beans?) and stores of the like. The big brand name stores usually aren't the best option. You may as well get your feet wet in the Health Food Markets, you'll be very glad you did. :)K

Brenda, It is for this reason I included the things uncommon to some parts of the country. Here in Ohio, where I live, we have Asian, Indian, Mexican, and many other countries, Specialty markets with everything imaginable. We have a very diverse society here. It is easy to find any ethnic ingredients here. I love traveling to the south to visit and yet I find the availability of foods and such is limited. But don't give up this mung bean detox and weight loss soup is great, tasty and does exactly what it claims.
