Chilled Avocado and Cucumber Soup

Follow

I have wanted a Vitamix for sometime now and I finally saved up my money and purchased one.  When it came I was so excited – like a kid on Christmas morning – I couldn’t wait to open it and start playing!

I have made some veggie smoothies – very different from my juicer – but had all the fiber packed in.  The making and cleaning up was so much easier than with my juicer – and I felt full longer with the smoothies than the juice.  Stella thinks the fruit smoothies I make for her are delicious and at first she thought I bought them at the shop down the street that makes smoothies. The really nice thing about the Vitamix is that it is so easy to use – Stella is now doing her own smoothies in it – yeah!

My first soup…..

Chilled Avocado and Cucumber Soup

1 avocado, pitted and peeled
