Chilled Avocado And Cucumber Soup

I love this tasty, brain-boosting Avocado and Cucumber Soup for lunch or dinner. Avocados are a unique fruit because of their high content of monounsaturated fats - Good for your brain, your mood, your heart and your skin!

And the best part? There is zero cooking involved! Just throw all of these healthy ingredients into the blender……And voila! Dinner is served.
