Last time, we talked about the missing ingredient for better overall health and easier weight loss… chlorophyll.

So today, I’ve got a delicious recipe for you that’s going to give you a healthy dose of chlorophyll.

This soup is ready in just a few minutes, but the taste is so herbaceous and complex, you might think it takes hours to prepare.

It’s like a green gazpacho, so you can enjoy it now and for all the warmer days to come.

Give it a try and let me know what you think over on Facebook.

I think this recipe is foolproof! I had it written down slightly different. Unsweetened Almond milk or water. I used AM because I wanted it to be more of a cream soup. I was short basil so added a frozen Dorot basil cube. Only had 1 tblsp of EVOO left so added ½ of avocado I didn’t have the cucumber written down. Oops! I used a Dorot garlic cube which was a tad strong but I like garlic and ½ of red pepper was on my recipe. None! So went to the freezer and borrowed from my frozen peppers and onion bag. I had pinch of paprika rather then cayenne so that is what I did. 4 servings? Well last time I had two servings in a large bowl for lunch. Today it was nearly 3 and no lunch so oh well 😔 I can’t believe I finished the whole batch! Since my morning shake with ½ an avocado in theory I haven’t had any solid food yet sooo I think this will be intermittent fast day! I ‘m so full.
