A steamy bowl of soup is not something you probably crave when temperatures are soaring. This chilled version will help you keep your cool and load up on the heart-healthy fats found in avocado. Ready to thaw at a moment's notice, bags of previously cooked frozen shrimp are a quick way to add a healthy dose of muscle-building protein in a flash.
