Cucumber & Avocado Gazpacho

Cucumber & Avocado Gazpacho

I don't know about you but when it's 85 and humid out, the last thing I want to do is turn on the over to cook! Summer is amazing for so many reasons but sweating in a hot apartment with the AC working double time is just not ideal.  For those days you just need something that isn't a salad or raw veggies (because let's be honest, they aren't always that appealing) this is a great option!

This "creamy" gazpacho is filled with veggies, protein, healthy fats, and minty goodness! All you have to do is slice the vegetables, plug in your blender, and press blend....could it be more simple than that?!
