Avocado's rule!

I love avocado! It's such a delicious, creamy, beautiful green nutrient-dense piece of fruit. Avocado's contain lots of good fatties, vitamins and minerals, and are therefore so healthy. You can use avocado's in a salad, in a smoothie or in a sandwich. Did you know that when you want to enhance the riping proces of the avocado, you should put it in a bag with some apples or oranges.

Here's one of my favorite and very simple avocado recipe.

Ingredients:

• - 1/2 avocado, thin slices
• - Wheat bread (or spelta crackers)
• - Pinch of salt and pepper
• - Optional: butter and other colorful veggies

Put the thin slices of avocado on your bread (or crackers) and add a pinch of salt and pepper to it.

Yummy!

Craving for chocolate

Sometimes I really do crave for chocolate. Yet just eating a random chocolate bar doesn't really excite me anymore. So here's a new way of enjoying chocolate, in a much healthier way!

 

Ingredients:

• - Spelta cracker
• - Banana
• - (organic) dark chocolate spread
• - Optional: strawberries and coconut flakes.

Put a thin (and even) layer of dark chocolate spread on the cracker. Cut the banana into slices and put on top of the dark chocolate. For extra flavor and sensation, add some strawberries and coconut flakes too.

Enjoy!

Avocado Banana Smoothie

This smoothie is so delicious and great for a quick filling lunch (or breakfast). The avocado is a great source of good fats and protein, which make you feel full longer too.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 banana (I prefer frozen, but fresh is fine too)
• 100 ml milk (soy, almond, rice, regular, whatever you prefer)
• 2 tablespoons yogurt
• 2 teaspoons maple syrup
• Optional: a pinch of vanilla extract and/or cinnamon

Put everything in the blender and blend. Serve in a tall glass and sprinkle some cinnamon on top. Enjoy!
