Clean Pineapple and Avocado Gazpacho



As summer comes to an end with the celebration of Labor day and the kiddos heading back to school, this sweet cool soup is the perfect way to use all your favorite fruits still in the fridge or leftover from today's picnic.

2 cups pineapple, diced
1 avocado, diced
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 tsp sea salt or to taste
1 handful cilantro (my addition)

Blend all ingredients, adding distilled water to thin the mixture to desired thickness.  If you don't mind the extra calories, I suggest substituting unsweetened almond milk for the water creating a creamier texture.  Served chilled. 

Besides tasting delicious,  one avocado fuels your body with vitamin A, C, E, K and B6. In addition, delivers a dose of potassium and the healthy fat acid, oleic acid.

* I think this base recipe would also serve well with other fruits and melons. 

This recipe was reinterpreted from the book Clean written by Alegandro Junger, M.D.
