Include avos in your meals in the following yummy ways:
• Top rice cakes with avo and low-fat cottage cheese.
• Mash with some lemon juice and serve on toasted seed loaf.
• Slice and add to your plate as your "winter salad". Avo is a great accompaniment to steak, chicken breasts or vegetarian patties.
• Add as a topping for your homemade pizza.
• Eat as a starter before dinner, but fill with red pepper chopped into low-fat cottage cheese, instead of the shrimps.
• Mash as a filler for wraps, mixed with lettuce, tomato, coriander and add a lean protein if needed.
