Red Gazpacho

Recipe prepared and photographed by NutraMilk nutritionist, Florencia Tagliavini.

Red gazpacho is a perfect light and healthy cold soup for summer days. With the NutraMilk it's super easy to make. We used our homemade fresh almond butter in place of oil to give the gazpacho a rich creamy taste and consistency as well as protein, heart-healthy fats and a load of micronutrients. Enjoy!
