So without further ado, here are three amazing little uses for avocado, and hopefully they’re all new to you too!

Five reasonsĀ avocados are amazing…

  • They stimulate brain health.
  • They support heart health.

AND they taste amazing too… Here are three amazing uses you need to try today!

Use it to make a salad dressing

Salad season is almost upon us, but some of us have never really ditched them. Winter salads are a thing, and we love them. We also love a good dressing, but let’s face it the ones yo buy in the shops can be full of sugar and hidden fats, not to mention the preservatives etc. So. Enter the avocado. This is a salad dressing you are going to love, and I guarantee you won’t want to buy another mass produced bottle again. All you need is:

  • Half an avocado
  • Half a clove of garlic, crushed,
  • The juice from one orange
  • One table spoon dijon mustard
  • A pinch of salt

Simply blend all the ingredients together and drizzle over your salad. Delicious!

Use it toĀ rejuvenate your face

Use the pit toĀ make your smoothie stand out…

Ok, so this is a new one but hear us out! Studies have found that the pit of an avocado is actually the key to it’s super power. Yes, the fruit really is full of nutrients and awesomeness, but the pit is too- three times over!

Avocado pits can also be sprinkled over salads and other dishes to give them a boost, but be warned that if eaten alone it will taste rather bitter. Give it a go!
