Broccoli and Almond Gazpacho
If you’re making an effort to eat more veggies, broccoli is a great one to prioritize. It’s loaded with a wide array of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other bioactive compounds that may reduce cell damage caused by certain chronic diseases. Broccoli is low in calories but rich in fiber and antioxidants that support healthy bowel function and digestive health.
This recipe is a great way of a simple and healthy dinner with minimum ingredients.
