I conjured this yummy one morning watching the snow fall. It is filled with Antioxidants like vitamins A, D and E in the avocado which is great for dry and mature skin. Sterolin is a substance found in avocados that help soften the skin and reduce age spots.

Avocados are high in essential fats and low in saturated fat. Essential fats actually help to speed up the metabolism.

The broccoli sprouts have anti-inflammatory properties. Sulphoraphane  found in the sprouts are being researched for helping calm the nerves and reduce anxiety. They are high in Vitamin C, E and A which boosts the body's immune system.

Top this off with blended seeds ......
