Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats, which make
them a fantastic food to eat to keep you healthy. But avocados can be
used in many ways to soothe and nourish your body. From facial masks to
food substitutes and everything in between, find out the new ways you
can use avocados to enhance your life.
Soothing Facial Mask
The oil in avocados has
anti-inflammatory properties to reduce redness and soothe your skin. Try
mixing a mashed avocado with honey for a quick at-home facial mask.
Apply it to your skin and rinse it off with warm water once the mask
starts to harden.
Dairy-Free Dressing
Swap out the anchovies and
eggs for avocados to make a dairy-free, vegan-friendly Caesar salad
dressing. The thick consistency of the avocados makes this dressing
super creamy and delicious.
Substitute for Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise is not only
fattening but it’s made with processed ingredients that are not good for
your body. Invest in your health and swap out mayo for avocado to give
your body the nutrients it needs.
Hydrating Hair Mask
Nourish and hydrate your split
ends with avocados. Simply mix together an egg yolk, olive oil and
mashed avocado in a bowl. When showering, apply the mask to the ends of
your wet hair and let it sit for a couple of minutes before rinsing.
Repeat once or twice a week for excellent results.
Make Healthy Brownie
This recipe won’t make you
feel bad about indulging in a chocolate fudge brownie (or two!). Add the
secret ingredient—an avocado—into the batter to create a healthy and
delicious dessert that everyone is sure to love.
