What are Avocados good for? Did YOU know...?!?!

Holy momma! Came across this little diddy on the interwebs and nearly had a conniption. Thank you Dr. Mercola! 

Now, I LOOOOOVE me some avocado but boy do I love the fact it came bundled in this pretty little infographic with colours that made my eyes dance. 

Anyhoo, on to the content. :) I especially LOVE their uses for beauty. I'm not a fan of using much product on my body. I love Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Castile Liquid Soap for showering (makes everything tingle :)) and I use Maison Orphee Coconut Oil as a moisturizer. I also love to exfoliate my face SO I'm going to find a recipe incorporating avocados and will report back to you so stay tuned! 

AND did you know that you can use avocado as a fat replacement in baking? Where a recipe calls for things such as oil, butter or shortening, you can simply replace that with an equal amount of avocado. Now THAT is something worth giving a try!

Some of my favourite ways to use avocado in my daily diet is:

• mashed avocado and salsa to go with my omelette
• mashed avocado and sliced tomato on Ezekiel sprouted toast
• adding mashed avocado as a spread on my Ezekiel wrap with tuna and kale (my go to easy lunch when I'm really busy and in a pinch)
• use it sliced or mashed on all my sandwiches
• cut up chunks to put in my power kale salads!
• use in smoothies to give it the same consistency a banana would in your smoothie

Enjoy!
