Make your breakfast a moment of delicious possibilities by adding avocado.
With its melt-in-your-mouth creaminess, subtle buttery flavour, and luxurious appeal, it’s easy to give your breakfast favourites the red (green) carpet treatment.
Someone once said that breakfast is a celebration of nourishment and gratitude. Adding avocados to your morning routine is a fantastic way to kickstart your day, as they’re packed with monounsaturated fats and essential nutrients like vitamin K and biotin.
- If toast is your go-to-breakfast, say goodbye to the mundane and zoosh things up with a toasted bagel topped with tuna, avocado, and a drizzle of aioli.
- Or why not make those Belgian waffles green with envy? Try avocado waffles loaded with savoury mince, topped off with slices of fresh avocado of course!
- And let’s not forget about the classic breakfast staple: eggs – Sunny Side Up!. We’re giving this beloved dish a VIP upgrade by serving it on a crispy Parmesan base, topped with avocado, spinach, and a zesty tomato chili jam.
With avocados available almost all year-round in South Africa, there’s no excuse not to indulge in these nutrient-packed treasures. So go ahead, add an avo to your healthy eating plan and savour the creamy goodness!
