Smashed Herbed Avocado

Ave you had an avo today? This fruit has a high nutrient value even though it is high in fats, healthy fats that is.

The most abundant nutrients in a single 100g serving is: Vitamin K, Folate, Vitamin C, Potassium, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin E. Avocados do not contain any cholesterol or sodium and are low in saturated fat.

An avocado is not only incredibly delicious but they are versatile too. With a creamy rich fatty texture they can be used in smoothies, cakes even chocolate mousse!  But we love them the most in this recipe on toast after a solid workout, they are the perfect recovery fuel.

SERVING SUGGESTION

We love to serve our smashed avocado on a slice of sourdough but it equally works on a potato rosti for a gluten free option. You can also serve this as a dip with vegetable sticks and corn chips.
