The best avocado aioli recipe
Avocado, spinach, garlic, lemon or lime juice – well that’s all you need to create this super delicious avocado-based plant-based/vegan aioli recipe. And, the best this is that it is 100% naughty-free.
Let’s explain why.
The main ingredient is avocado which is full of goodness and healthy fats. In fact, avocados are one of the great anti-cancer foods as they are incredibly rich in a multiplicity of nutrients, including many antioxidants and phytochemicals as well as vitamins, minerals, fibre and monounsaturated healthy fats.
Spinach is a superfood and is known for its energy-boosting capabilities and it has excellent sources of iron to replenish our body’s stores. Spinach is also incredibly anti-cancer as it is rich in chlorophyll, carotene, iron, folic acid, vitamins and minerals that are crucial for cancer preventing and fighting cancer.
Garlic is a plant in the Allium (onion) family and is one of the best anti-cancer foods if not the best. Garlic is rich in manganese, vitamin B6, vitamin C, selenium, fibre and contains also calcium, copper, potassium, phosphorus, iron and vitamin B1 – which are all crucial for your anti-cancer diet. Garlic is also great for reducing blood pressure, lowering the risk of heart disease and helping detoxify the body from free radicals and heavy metals. Additionally, several studies have shown a link between increased intake of garlic and reduced risk of certain cancers, including breast cancer.
Lemons are a good source of vitamin C and they are rich in anti-cancer compound such as like limonene, especially in their peels. Lemon also support heart health and may prevent kidney stones.
Lemon and garlic together are very powerful. Studies have shown that combining garlic and lemon extracts help increase the anti-cancer activity of garlic.
