New Year, New You: Let’s “Guac & Roll” Your Post-Holiday Detox

Detoxing doesn’t have to be daunting, at least not anymore! After weeks of indulging in holiday cheeky treats, it’s time to hit the reset button with a fresh, healthy approach to eating. The World Avocado Organisation challenges you to “guac & roll” into your best self with the ultimate superfood: the avocado!

More than just a trendy food, avocados are a nutrient-dense powerhouse ideal for jump-starting your wellness goals:

Healthy fats: Avocados are high in healthy fats, making them a fantastic ingredient to use in various culinary creations without the need for meat.

Vitamins and minerals: Avocados are an especially good source of folate (vitamin B9) and vitamins B6, B3, B2, E, C, K, potassium, and magnesium, all essential for good health.

Protein source: Avocados contain 2 grams of protein per 100 grams, making them one of the fruit options with the highest protein content.

Gut-Friendly: Avocados are an excellent source of fibre, crucial for proper digestive system function and maintaining healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

But the best part? Adding avocados to your detox isn’t just healthy but it’s delicious and key to elevate any of your meals! From smoothies to salads and everything in between, this versatile fruit transforms meals into something you’ll savour, not dread!
