How to Make Sea Okra soup
If properly prepared, okra soup is a very popular and delicious soup. It is loved by many, and it is actually one of the quickest African soups to prepare. This soup is loved by the majority in West Africa. You can decide to prepare your okra with dried okra, just like some parts of Nigeria. 

Okra has low calories, a lot of nutritional value, is rich in protein, has vitamin C, which helps support immune function, and vitamin K, which helps in blood formation. Okra contains antioxidants called polyphenols, which are a natural compound that helps the body fight off free radicals that can damage the cell.

Okra is a flowering plant with edible seed, and it is mostly cultivated in Africa and South Asia under a warm climate. Researchers believe okra may help prevent sugar from being absorbed during digestion. It is also rich in vitamin A and C, which help reduce the risk of health conditions like cancer, diabetes, stroke, and heart disease.

  Okra soup can be prepared with vegetables like spinach, pumpkin (ugu), green vegetables, and hot leaves (uziza).

For the purpose of this recipe, we are making sea okra soup, one of the many okra recipes.

Ingredients Used:

  • 30 okra fingers 
  • Croaker fish or catfish
  • 4 red bell peppers

Things to Remember Before You Begin:

You can use any protein or sea animal you want; I use crab and croaker fish, but you can use any fish you want, such as catfish, tilapia fish, and mackerel.

There are actually two methods I use in preparing okra soup; for the purpose of this recipe, I will be sharing method number 1; on our next okra recipe, I will introduce method 2.

The Cooking Process: 

  • In a pot, put the fish and snails. Add seasoning cubes, pepper, salt, and any fish species of your choice.

Using Spinach in Smoothies: How to make and Freeze It.

 Spinach Smoothie


The Making Process:

This dish uses a large percentage of frozen products. Slices of banana, pineapple, and ice should be added first to create a smooth, cool mixture. The apple should then be added to help break down the fibrous skin. The spinach leaves should next be layered on top because they are quite fragile and crumble easily. If necessary, press the greens into the high-speed blender's blades with a tamper. The yogurt and almond milk are then added to the smoothie to help it reach a drinking consistency. If more liquid is required to get the desired thick and creamy texture, do so gradually.

A terrific addition to smoothies, soups, dips and other dishes is frozen spinach. It's simple to perform, quick, and ideal for meal preparation.
