Creamy Avocado Gazpacho Recipe

Avocados are an excellent source of healthy omega 3 fats and a wide range of phytonutrients. The avocado is likely to provide you with health benefits in the areas of blood sugar control, insulin regulation, satiety and weight management, and decreased overall risk of unwanted inflammation. I like simple recipes that don't take much time or effort, and this recipe is super-fast and easy in addition to being incredibly nutritious!
