Avocado Honey Smoothie

I know, it sounds bizarre to combine a savory avocado with honey and yoghurt.. But, this is about trying new things this year, so go for it!

For the health-concerned, here are some good reasons you should eat avocados: they lower cholesterol, prevent strokes, allow better absorption of nutrients, are a Vit E powerhouse (means protection against many diseases) and have cancer-preventive properties. Good enough?

The Ingredients

• 1 organic avocado
• 1 glass of plain organic yoghurt or kefir (or almond milk if you are off dairy)
• 1 tbsp of raw honey
• 2 tbsp of sunflower seeds
• 2 tbsp of pumpkin seeds

The Making

1. Scoop out the avocado flesh into a blender
2. Add yoghurt, honey and all the seeds
3. Blend till either very smooth or somewhat smooth if you like chunks in your smoothie
4. Touch your heart and tell it you love it.

P.S. Craving creamy food is sometimes a sign of needing a hug or a kiss; it’s an emotional craving. Instead of reaching out for ice cream, try this combo.
