Avocado, Coconut & Lime Crumble Pots

This one’s a refreshing snack or dessert, whose ingredients come together to make a very good essential fatty acid supplement. Coconut is a good source of MCTs, avocados are rich in omega 3, 6, and 9, while chia seeds are a great ALA omega 3 food, topping up the healthy balance.

You will need

• flesh of 2 large ripe avocados
• grated zest and juice of 2 limes
• 3 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 2 tsp honey (omit if you prefer a less sweet dish)
• 1 tsp desiccated coconut
• 4 low-sugar oat biscuits

Method

(we suggest you read everything at least once before doing anything)

1) Blend the avocado, lime juice, coconut oil, honey, and half the desiccated coconut, in a food processor.

2) Scoop the mixture into 4 ramekins (or equivalent-sized glasses), making sure to leave a ½” gap at the top. Refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours (longer is fine if you’re not ready to serve yet).

3) Assemble, by crumbling the oat biscuits and sprinkling on top of each serving, along with the other half of the desiccated coconut, the lime zest, and the chia seeds.

4) Serve immediately:

Enjoy!
