The Simple Things - Avocado&Kiwi

I have seen loads of fancy avocado and kiwi smoothies on the web recently. Smoothies are a big thing at the moment. Apparently. They are everywhere. I get it...kind of...they are healthy and refreshing and perfect for the summer.

I may have jumped the bandwagon and made myself a blueberry banana smoothie yesterday. Shhh, don't tell.....

But I generally prefer to chew my food rather than slurp it in liquified form. I do still have teeth. Amazing teeth that like to bite on stuff.

So here comes the smoothie on bread. Avocado and kiwi salad with toasted brown bread.

Avocado and Kiwi Salad

Summer Citrus Salad aka My New Favorite Salad in the World

Where do I even start....? This salad is crunchy. It's smooth. It's sweet and sour. It's fresh. And it's damn tasty.

I really want you to know how cool this salad is, because it's full of stuff that's good for you.

If you, like me, have had far too many not so pretty and un-lady-like chocolate attacks recently, this is a good way to get your healthy eating buzz on. If not, well, then you are a better human being than me. But your body will thank you for this salad anyway.
