Watermelon-Strawberry Gazpacho
Watermelon is rich in potassium, which regulates the water balance in our body. It also contains lycopene, a secondary plant substance that protects our cells from free radicals and thus reduces the risk of cancer.
For an extra portion of protein, you can also prepare the cold strawberry-cucumber soup with about 250 grams of low-fat curd cheese or Skyr. An equally delicious variation of gazpacho is to use blueberries instead of strawberries.
