SERVES 4

Preparation time: 8 minutes

Cooking time: 5 minutes (for the corn)

INGREDIENTS

Gazpacho

3 cups cooked corn, shelled and completely cooled (about 4 cobs)

3 ½ cups of cantaloupe chopped

1 yellow pepper, deseeded and quartered

¼ tsp garlic powder*

1 bottle of fermented dairy drinkable probiotic (original unsweetened)

¼ cup lime juice

1 ½ tsp dried oregano

¼ tsp ground turmeric

¼ tsp ground cumin

½ tsp. salt

Ground pepper to taste

Suggested toppings

Extra virgin olive oil

Radish sprout, to taste (or other varieties of your choice)

PREPARATION

  1. In a blender, blend all the gazpacho ingredients until perfectly smooth.
  2. Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour before serving.
  3. In four bowls, pour and distribute the mixture. Garnish with a drizzle of oil and a few sprouts.

    *Please note: Mixing fresh garlic with our Bio-K+ bacteria is not recommended. The antimicrobial properties of fresh garlic could potentially inhibit the effectiveness of our beneficial bacteria. That's why we opted for garlic powder in this recipe.
