👨🍳Method
The Velvety Blend
2 minIn a high-speed blender, combine your chopped cucumber, non-fat Greek yogurt, 30g of avocado, garlic clove, lime juice, and herbs.
Season and Emulsify
1 minAdd a generous pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Blend on high for 60 seconds until the soup is completely smooth, vibrant green, and beautifully aerated. If too thick, add a tablespoon of ice-cold water until it reaches your desired consistency.
Chill
20 minFor the best flavor, place the blender pitcher in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes so the soup gets perfectly ice-cold and the garlic and citrus flavors meld.
Plate the Masterpiece
1 minPour the cold, velvety soup into a wide, shallow bowl.
The Crescent Garnish
1 minTake your single teaspoon of mixed seeds and carefully sprinkle them in a tight crescent moon shape along one side of the soup's surface. Add a sprig of fresh dill in the center of the crescent. Serve immediately for a massive, refreshing, protein-packed bowl!
