Yummy Green Gazpacho

Green Gazpacho. I saw this on the show "Extra Virgin" on Cooking channel. (One of my favorite channels to watch). I loved the idea of a gazpacho without tomatoes... don't get me wrong, I love tomatoes. But every time I have made gazpacho in the past, I feel like I need tortilla chips with it. haha. I made this today and I LOVED it.

1 cucumber peeled and cut into chunks
big handful of green grapes
big handful of cilantro
1/2 of an avocado
juice of one big fat juicy lime
salt & pepper
1 Tbsp Olive Oil + some for drizzling on top
1/2 cup ice
1/2 cup cold water
1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds


Put everything except almonds into a blender, food processor, or if your cool like me *wink* *wink* into your Nutri Bullet. :) Blend away until smooth and creamy. Garnish with toasted almonds and olive oil.
