Some days I crave something fresh, cooling, and light — but I still want it to fill me up and keep my energy steady. This avocado cucumber soup totally delivers. It’s creamy, protein-packed, and naturally supports fat loss — with zero cooking required.
This comes together in under 5 minutes. Just blend, chill, and enjoy.
I’ve been experimenting with chilled soups lately, especially on warmer days when turning on the stove feels like too much. This one came together so simply, yet felt like something you’d get at a fancy wellness café.
Plus, it’s loaded with plant protein, fiber, and hydration — all in one easy blender meal.
Why This Avocado Cucumber Soup Supports Weight Loss And Energy
This isn’t just a refreshing summer soup — it’s a smart one. Here’s why it works so well for fat loss and sustained energy:
- High in plant protein: Green peas are naturally rich in protein and fiber, helping you feel full longer without heavy calories.
- Low in fat, high in nutrients: With just half an avocado, you get enough healthy fat for satiety, without overdoing it.
- No cooking required: Perfect for busy days, hot weather, or when you just want something easy and cooling.
- Rich in fiber: Fiber from peas, avocado, and cucumber supports digestion and steady blood sugar.
- Hydrating and alkaline: Coconut water and cucumber are both naturally hydrating and help balance the body.
In addition, the Irish moss gel adds a smooth, creamy texture while supporting gut health and providing trace minerals.
Each bowl of this avocado cucumber soup comes in at around 200–250 calories, making it a great low-calorie lunch or light dinner.
Ingredients For Your Avocado Cucumber Soup
You’ll need just a few fresh, whole ingredients:
- ½ ripe avocado
- 1 cup green peas (fresh or thawed from frozen)
- 1 cucumber, peeled
- ½ cup coconut water (or light coconut milk for richness)
- 2 tbsp Irish moss gel (for creaminess and texture)
- Juice of ½ lime
- Pinch of sea salt
Optional garnishes:
- Mint leaves
- Lime wedges
- A swirl of coconut yogurt
How To Make This Protein-Packed Soup
First, add all ingredients to your blender.
Then, blend until completely smooth and creamy. The Irish moss and avocado will create a silky, thick texture without needing any dairy.
If it’s too thick, just add a splash more coconut water and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
Next, chill the soup for at least 15–20 minutes before serving. That’s why it’s ideal for prepping ahead, especially on hot days.
Finally, pour it into a bowl, garnish if you like, and enjoy!
Tips For The Best Avocado Cucumber Soup Flavor And Texture
To elevate it further, try these simple tips:
- Use ripe avocado: A soft but not overly mushy avocado gives you that creamy richness without overpowering the flavor.
- Choose sweet peas: If using frozen peas, let them thaw fully. Sweet green peas blend more smoothly and taste fresher.
- Add zest or herbs for brightness: A little lime zest or a few fresh mint leaves can elevate the whole experience.
- Chill before serving: This soup is meant to be cool and refreshing — not lukewarm.
- Serve in small bowls or glasses: It’s perfect as a light starter or mid-afternoon mini-meal.
