This is one of my favorite recommendations for clients. It’s that perfect summer lunch - light, refreshing and cold. It’s also surprisingly filling!!

The avocado makes this chilled soup a nutritional double threat - the anti-inflammatory monounsaturated fats improve mental sharpness while up-regulating phase II detox in the liver - win / win.

For best results chill for 1 hour and serve immediately.  Serves 2.
