This year avos tick many of the boxes on the Everyday Health Top 10 Healthy Food Trends list for 2023 as well! One of the listed trends, \u2018plants in more places\u2019, encourages new ways to eat fruits and veg. It cites an \u2018upswing in the creative use of vegetables and fruits as people strive to hit that five-a-day recommendation. For example &#8211; using avocado in the place of butter.<\/p>\n<p>Other trends in the report, where the avo is right at home, include: \u2018more plant-based options\u2019, \u2018Mood-boosting foods\u2019 and \u2018food for your gut\u2019. \u2018More plant-based options\u2019 speaks to the growing trend of people consciously choosing to eat less meat. As a result,<\/p>\n<p>interest in meat alternatives and interesting fruit and vegetable options is increasing across the globe. This is where avos come into their own as an incredibly versatile fruit.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018mood-boosting foods\u2019\u00a0 trend refers to feel-good foods that help ward against depression and support brain health. Foods higher in good fats may lower the risk of depression and anxiety and considering one avocado contains 13g of healthy monounsaturated fatty acids, there\u2019s definitely a spot for them in that category!<\/p>\n<p>New research has also shown that eating avos may benefit healthy gut flora. This puts avos on the list as one of the good guys when it comes to the \u2018food for your gut\u2019 trend as well. As you can see, there are plenty reasons to \u2018add an avo\u2019 to your meals this year!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-24918\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Avo-in-article-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Avocado Halves, White Bean and Sundried Tomato Salad<\/p>\n<p><em>Serves 4, preparation time: 20 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ingredients:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>2 large ripe avocados, 30 ml (2 tbsp) avocado or olive oil, 125 ml (\u00bd cup) spring onions (chopped), 30 ml (2 tbsp) salted capers (rinsed), Fresh basil leaves, to taste, 120 g \/ 250 ml (1 cup) pitted green olives (finely chopped), 2 cloves garlic (grated), 60 ml (\u00bc cup) red wine vinegar, 1 chilli diced (optional), 410 g can white beans (drained), 120 g \/ 250 ml (1 cup) marinated sundried tomato (chopped), 200 g cherry tomatoes (rinsed), microgreens to garnish<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Method:<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Cut the avocados in half and remove the stones.<\/li>\n<li>Place the oil, spring onions, capers, basil, olives, garlic, vinegar and chilli into a bowl and mix to combine.<\/li>\n<li>Mix the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl, and spoon into the avocado halves, drizzle with the olive mixture.<\/li>\n<li>Serve with crusty bread.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>For more info and recipes, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/avocado.co.za\/\">avocado.co.za<\/a> , like us on Facebook @iloveavocadoSA and follow us on Instagram @iloveavossa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A celebration of the trendy and healthy avo Over the years, foodies and consumers have been \u2018adding an avo\u2019 to their meals.
