Tumeric Avocado Feta Smash

Not just for café-goers, this is an unbelievably easy and much cheaper version (who wants to pay an extra $3 for half an avo?) of your standard avocado & feta smash. And you can make, and eat, as much as your heart desires.

I’m all for foodhacking - adding extra ingredients that boost a meal’s superfuel properties but don’t take away from it’s essential taste or ease of making. This dish adds a pinch of Himalyan salt which is great for soothing your adrenals (the glands that help you in times of stress) and turmeric, which is a powerful switcher-on-erer of your body’s own antioxidants and anti-inflammatory. Black pepper should always be thought of when adding turmeric as it hells your body absorb it so it work its magic.

Ingredients

• 1 ripe avocado

• 30g Danish feta

• 1 tsp turmeric

• Pinch of Himalyan salt

Method

Like the name says, smash.

If you want specifics, I used a fork to roughly mash the avo with the turmeric first, then folded in the crumbled feta. If you want it chunkier, don’t mash as smoothly and just fold in the feta. For those that like it smooth, you can use the back of a spoon to really get the lumps out. You could use a food processor or blender if you want, but it’s not really necessary and just gives you more to wash up.

You can substitute any type of feta you have. As I learnt from my friendly deli manager, Danish feta is a smoother, creamier version compared to the more crumbly, firmer feta you often see in Greek salad. Both equally yummy.

I ate this on a scrambled egg but you can smear it on pretty much anything or just eat it straight out of the bowl. This dish is also great for bubba's starting to eat solids; its an awesome source of heart/brain/body- healthy monounsaturated fats and really easy for them to digest.
