Cucumber Avocado Detox Soup

This is an interesting chilled soup that acts as a detox,  tastes great, and is healthy too.
Summer is a great time to detox, and this delightful chilled cucumber avocado soup is a delicious way to do it. The simple soup contains specific healthy ingredients that can help increase your body's alkalinity and help eliminate toxins that may clog your liver.

The soup is very easy to make and is refreshing! The Avocado makes it creamy, the cucumber makes it light, the red onion gives it flavor, the lemon and apple cider vinegar make it a slightly tangy and cayenne gives it a little kick!

It serves as a quick snack or a mid afternoon pick me up after a day's work. The nutrients and healthy fats are energizing, and it only takes 5 minutes to prepare from start to finish.

Personally, I sometimes leave out the cayenne and drink it for breakfast like a green smoothie.
If I want even more greens, I add a leaf of kale or spinach!

Mild, cooling, and delicious, this vegan and gluten free soup is a welcome treat on hot summer's day!I make the recipe for myself in advance as a snack, pick me up, or breakfast smoothie.
If you would like to make it for 2-4 people, the recipe multiplies well

My notes: Although you can drink it immediately after whirling it in the high speed blender , it really tastes best when it's been chilled for a few hours. It also holds up great overnight in the refrigerator so you can make it in advance for guests! Yes, Chill It!
