Sometimes you need to cool down quickly. The humidity is too much, the sun too glaring and your body needs something with a little more substance than plain water.
Well, give your body what it wants.
This week's recipe is a cool cucumber and avocado soup. A pleasant, chilled blend of green vegetables loaded with healthy fats. (That's right, you eat it cold) The soup is hydrating, satisfying and satisfying. Lime gives it a hint of citrus, and cucumbers are amazing on a hot day. Not only do they aid in hydration, they help to cool the body, contain essential vitamins, aid in weight loss and flush toxins from your system. Avocados, on the other hand, are full of fiber, potassium, antioxidants and vitamin K. A power-house soup that is simple, whole food based and ready in a snap.
