#Avocados & #Flourless #English Muffins


Avocados are a versatile, rich source of nutrients and on the Environmental Working Group 12 Least Contaminated / Clean Fifteen™ list.

Avocados provide amazing health benefits - especially for weight loss. According to David Zinczenko's 2015 Huffington Post article, the Avocado qualify as an aid to reduce weight:

"With its proven ability to lower cholesterol, quell hunger pangs and even spot-reduce belly fat, the avocado is arguably a perfect dietary staple for weight loss."

Avocados also may help lower LDL (bad cholesterol) and raise HDL (good cholesterol) which can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

As a long distance runner and yoga lover, I burn off quite a few calories every day. I am often adjusting my caloric intake based on my activity levels and have found the avocado sliced up pairs nicely with Food for Life's fourless, whole grain, live sprouted raisin English muffins. These muffins taste better than standard flour
Ezekiel Cinnamon Raisin English Muffins
filled English muffins and when combined with avocado, keeps me fuller longer. I also notice my blood sugar stays more steady as a result of the flourless recipe. No major dips or peaks as with flour based products. 

Try team green and experience the value of this combination along your journey!
