Add an avo; on the side, on top and inside too!
Are you looking forward to the upcoming public holidays?
Maybe you’re making a meal of it and taking a few extra days for a very long weekend? Whatever the case, be sure to add an avo to your time off!
- While you’re relaxing, there’s no reason to spend too much time in the kitchen because just by adding an avo to the most basic of meals, you’ll be amazed at how good they can taste. And to top that off, avocados also offer many health benefits. The avocado is high in heart-healthy fats, energy, vitamin K and biotin; it’s also sodium and cholesterol free and a source of fibre. Need we say more – good taste and good health all in one and just waiting for you to slice open!
So for those lazy days, why not revamp a few tried and tested easy meals by adding an avo? Think pulled chicken sliders with sliced avo on the side, take hotdogs from edible to extravagance by piling avo on top, and even a regular toasted cheese can be upgraded when you add avo on the inside!
