* Spread each slice with fresh avocado, mashed or finely sliced
* Sprinkle with an abundance of alfalfa sprouts
* Open wide and Mmmmm
OPTIONS: You could add fresh tomato slices to this or mash the tomato into the avocado to create a simple guacamole. If you don't like avocado an olive paste* works very well on this too.
** These items are usually heat treated, you will need to look for those specifically labelled as raw.
Snack 2 - Avocado & Sunflower Snack
* Slice open one perfectly ripe avocado and place the two halves (with pit removed) on a plate
* Chop some small cubes of tomato to serve in or around avocado as desired
* Heap a small but adequate handful of sprouted sunflower seeds (sprout the ones with the hulls removed!) into the avocado halves
* Sprinkle with herb salt (e.g. Herbamare), garnish with fresh herbs (e.g. Coriander/ Cilantro), top with a little fresh lemon or lime juice and serve
OPTIONS: Any sprouts would work well here but sunflower sprouts are delicious and very satisfying.
