Dr Jockers Comments:
I love a creamy and tangy soup like this that is loaded with good fats and antioxidants. This recipe is loaded with electrolytes and trace minerals that promote an alkaline environment within the body. It is also very easy on the digestive system, so those with compromised guts do very well with it as the blender has already pre-digested it for us!
Avocados are extremely rich in potassium and magnesium as well as the carotenoid antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin. Cucumber is rich in the beauty mineral silica. The lemon provides more potassium, vitamin C and vitamin P (also called citrus bioflavonoids). This is a healthy skin and anti-aging recipe for sure!
Garlic and cilantro are powerful detoxifying foods that help pull toxic debris, bad bacteria and parasites out of the system. Cilantro, lemon and cucumber are also great for helping support the processes of the liver and kidneys for optimal health.
Most people really enjoy this recipe in the spring, summer and fall. Harder to do a cooler soup like this in the winter but great for the warmer months.
You can have this with other food or as a stand-alone lunch or snack. Let us know how you enjoyed it!

I pass on most since i don’t load up on fats or your type of foods. Do use avocado’s, this is a good one.
Thanks !
Thought this might be good on a ketogenic food plan. Thank you and God bless!
Absolutely Judith!
Looks great. Can it be made, refrigerated, and eaten later?
I really like this easy recipe. Do you know if you can swap the lemon with lime? If so, would you get the same value using lime over the lemon?
Thank you!
Yes absolutely you can use lime and they are very similar in their nutritional content.
Wow, two cloves is a lot of garlic for 2 cups of smoothie! I’m kind of afraid to try this. What is the garlic benefit for detoxing?
thanks
Yes absolutely and immune support! It actually tastes quite good!
