Are you suffering from this heatwave right now? Suddenly the earth feels like a fire pit and everything is just burning…Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE summer… it’s my thing.. but I’m not too keen on working in extreme heat around stoves and ovens and large groups that only bring the heat factor way up…!!!! Sorry, I’m complaining… it’s just been a VERY hot day!!

So This is the thing… this quick, whizz and drink kind of lunch… it’s like a savory smoothie if you will.. and I call it gazpacho just because it carries all the flavours of a typical tomato gazpacho, but without the bread and tomatoes… ?!?!?!?!

So perhaps I shouldn’t even call it that…oh well…

It’s practical, it lasts for a few days in the fridge, so it’s great to take to work in a flask and just glug it down.. what I love about this green gorgeousness is that I’ve kept some of the sweet green peas in their original state, just so that you can have bursts of that sweetness in y0ur mouth as you drink..!

Keeping this post short and sweet today… have a great day out in the sun!!!
