Avo + snacking = the perfect match

ADVERTISING PROMOTION

Looking for some snacking ideas? Now's as good a time as any to raise your healthy snacking game, and the good news is that avocados are back in season.

Whether you opt for a tangy guacamole - arguably the best dip ever invented - or go for something simple like smashed avocado on wholegrain toast, whipping up an avocado-based snack is never a bad idea. With its unique combination of healthy fats and fibre, the avocado is a must-add as part of a healthy diet.

And it's just so versatile! The possibilities are endless. Beat that afternoon slump (and steer clear of refined sugar snacking) by making a simple but pretty veggie platter - a quick avocado hummus plus some baby veg like carrots, cucumber and radish, and there you go. You can even opt for avo when you're in the mood for a sweet snack - ever heard of avocado chocolate mousse? (Don't knock it till you've tried it.)

Planning a braai? Throw together a quick and slightly spicy starter of grilled sweetcorn, black beans, red onion, coriander and avocado. But don't stop there - there's the whole range of delicious Mexican-style treats to investigate - nachos, tacos, enchiladas and burritos ...

All made delicious with a generous portion of avocado, of course.
