Instant Gazpacho Refresher
After a week in sunny Spain and guzzling this totally refreshing drink/soup hybrid all the time, I missed it a lot.
And I really wanted to have it on tap at home, so I’ve worked out a way of getting that amazing freshness and flavour kick in an instant, without their amazingly sweet, sunny tomatoes. It’s as quick and easy as making a smoothie. And packed with vegetable and antioxidant goodness.
Float some ice cubes in it and have it as a starter with olive oil drizzled over the top. Or just gulp it by the glassful whenever you fancy.
Makes 1 litre
Place everything, saving a couple of basil leaves, in a high speed blender and whizz until completely liquid. Add some water if too thick for your liking and a few more ice cubes to serve. Either in a tall glass or a small bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Don't worry if it's not bright red - it depends on the tomatoes and peppers, but it will still taste fabulous I promise.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
