This refreshingly cool soup boasts crisp zucchini and creamy avocado. Fiber from summer squash and the avocado’s healthy monounsaturated fat help you fill up and stay fuller longer. The vegetable broth and onion base, along with creamy almond milk provide a delicious flavor boost but still keep it to only about 100 calories per serving. Top with a cucumber salsa for a fresh contrasting crunch.
