Give your breakfast the green carpet treatment with the creamy, buttery goodness of avocado.
Ditch the usual toast and layer up a toasted bagel with tuna, avo and a drizzle of aioli.
Packed with monounsaturated fats and essential nutrients like vitamin K and biotin, avos are a smart (and tasty) way to start your day. Bonus: they’re in season almost all year in SA.
