Notes
o Add a flavored oil. Garlic and herb-infused extra-virgin olive oils are excellent, or you can add a little spice with a small amount of chili oil.
o Try grilled avocado with a light brushing of soy sauce or hot sauce.
o Sprinkle it with fresh chopped basil, cilantro, parsley, or tarragon.
o Avocado should be grilled with shell facedown.
o Nutritional yeast is rich in nutrient slacking from vegetarian and vegan diets. It’s free of gluten, soy, and sugar. It is a great dietary addition for people with food sensitivities.
Fortified nutritional yeast is especially rich in B vitamins, including thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), and B6 and B12. Trace minerals. These include zinc, selenium, manganese, and molybdenum, which are involved in gene regulation, metabolism, growth, and immunity.
