You’ll AVO-lot of benefits along the way
We all know that avo is delicious with its mild flavor and creamy consistency, but let’s touch base on the many more reasons that we are avo-obsessed. Did you know; they are one of the most nutrient-dense foods items? They have been shown to assist with hormone control which naturally aids with your skin – making you glow. Avo also protein-filled and did you know; they have the highest levels of protein and the lowest amount of sugar of any fruit. An all-rounder, balanced base for any meal.
Infused with happiness
Sceletium is an excellent broad-spectrum mood-enhancing and emotion-mediating herb. When ingested, it attaches to the serotonin transporters within the body, works with the gut, and boosts the serotonin levels naturally. This means that it can essentially boost your levels of “happy”. By doing so, this plant integrates mind, emotion, and body and allows for deep bodily and mental relaxation. Through this, it can calm obsessive thinking and stablise emotions.
The two combined
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avos
- Handful coriander finely chopped
- Squeeze of a 1/4 lemon
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of pepper
- 1 finely chopped jalapeño
- 1/4 finely chopped red onion
- 10 drops of sceletium
Method
Remove the pip and the skin of the avo. Add the rest of the ingredients to the avo in a bowl and whip, mash, and stir until your heart’s content! I like a good ol’ chunky guac but if you’re into a smooth operator, keep whipping !
