Coconut water is super hydrating and full of electrolytes - think of it as natures Gatorade. The almond mylk and cashews offer healthy fats and protein to this liquid meal. Strawberries are loaded with vitamin c & plenty of antioxidants. Spinach like other dark leafy greens, is filled with magnesium, protein and iron. The chia seeds flood your system with omega 3 fatty acids, giving you a clean burst of energy!

Not all juice is created equally. Cold pressed juice contains about 5-7 times more nutrients than your standard centrifugal juice and because it is exposed to minimal heat and air, it contains more vitamins, minerals and enzymes. This means it tastes fresher and satisfies cravings; enzymes are what tell our brain we're full.  In this case it gives the gazpacho the nutrient value of 100 salads, adding the most delicious flavor. It's a perfect energy boosting way to have a light meal without feeling weighed down.
