Avocado Crema

Avocado Crema is a soft, creamy avocado spread used to enhance the flavor of your food. Typically avocado crema will be made with yogurt or sour cream to make it creamier, however, for people like me who are lactose intolerant, we can’t afford to do that. 

 

Key Ingredients

  •  Avocado- how else would we make avocado crema?
  •  Olive Oil- olive oil helps to make the avocado crema creamier and is a great source of healthy fat.
  •  Garlic- the use of garlic in this recipe brings out more flavor and makes whatever the crema I paired with taste even better.

Necessary Kitchen Equipment

  •  Food processor or blender

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Of course. I recommend putting between 4-10 cloves of garlic depending on how high your tolerance is. My family loves garlic so I will normally put between 8-10 cloves but it all depends on how you like it. If you do want more garlic, I recommend placing all of the ingredients except the garlic in the food processor and then processing until creamy. Then add the desired amount of garlic but don’t wait for it all to blend together. Allow there to be some small to medium sized chunks of garlic and this will create a stronger garlicky taste. 

Coconut milk has been known to be an aggravate and inflammatory food for some people (I should know since that is my mother). So the answer is no, you don’t have to put coconut milk. If you do skip the coconut milk, I recommend adding 2-3 more tablespoons of olive oil to maximize the creaminess. 

Cilantro is like a love-hate relationship, some people love it and some people hate it. I am in the latter category as I will get sick even smelling cilantro. I know many people like cilantro in their avocado crema so it is on the ingredients list as an optional. You do not need to add cilantro, it just provides a different taste for those who like it. 

I personally have never tried this recipe with avocado oil but I believe that the flavor and taste of the avocado crema would be the same. However, I do recommend using olive oil over avocado oil.

Avocado crema can be a dip or spread for virtually anything. I recommend pairing it with cassava flour tortillas or a flatbread.

The Best Brain Food

For a long time I have wondered what the best foods for boosting brain function were. I’m sure we’ve all heard of the half of your plate is protein, one fourth is grains and carbohydrates, and the other fourth is vegetables. But is this really the correct proportion sizes? Should we be eating more carbohydrates and vegetables? I’ve decided to dive into the best brain food and find out what the healthiest portion sizes are. 

Some key findings include:

        • For the carbohydrates, it needs to be highly personalized to your own needs based upon what your body can tolerate.
        • For vegetables, the vegetables should be non-starchy (which means that they vegetables do not contain starch). 
        • For protein, the protein should be good quality protein that is sourced from an organic and pasture raised farm, or wild caught for seafood. The protein could also come from a produce item, rather than an animal. 

Carbs

The Breakdown

Why is it important to eat carbohydrates?

Carbohydrates is the body’s main source of energy. Carbohydrates go through a series of processes where they eventually become blood glucose. Glucose is what fuels your body and any activities you do. The extra glucose is then stored in the liver to be used by cells later This is why many runners will eat high carb-containing foods before a long run. Carbohydrates are also important for brain function, especially for children and teenagers. 

Why is it important to eat protein?

Protein is composed of amino acids, one for eh four macromolecules (amino acids are building blocks). The human body will use the amino acids to build and repair muscles and bones. It will also produce hormones and enzymes. This is why many athletes will eat protein or drink protein drinks before and after their workouts. Protein also helps to aid in muscle recovery.

The Breakdown

Veg

The Breakdown

Why is it important to eat vegetables?

Plain and simple, vegetables are healthy. Vegetables also provide nutrients that you can’t derive from any other food source. This is why it is important to vary the vegetables up because each vegetable will have different nutrients and vitamins from another.

Portion Size?

So what is the perfect portion size of each of the three core food groups? 

The healthiest option I have found is one half of the plate is filled with vegetables of different colors. One fourth of the plate is filled with healthy carbohydrates. And the last one fourth is filled with high quality protein.
