Poached Eggs In Avocado Bowls

The Food Chemistry journal publicized that one raw egg, its yolk in particular, contains at least twice as many antioxidant properties as an apple! Previous research has been conducted to reveal that stomach enzymes actually break down egg proteins and produce peptides - which lower high blood pressure. However, eating too many egg whites can cause a biotin deficiency. Eating the yolks only, or the biotin rich yolks with the whites will prevent this problem.

Avocados are good for your heart and blood vessels. The vitamin B6 and folic acid in avocados provide healthy regulation of homocysteine levels. The higher the homocysteine levels, the greater the risk of a fatal heart attack. We came across a couple of posts for 'Egg and Avocados' and were inspired to do a raw version. We want to incorporate more raw foods in our diet and we'll be writing about this in an upcoming post.

Serves 1

Ingredients: 

∙ 2 happy free range egg yolks

5. Using a spoon, remove egg yolk from water (one at a time) and place inside avocado bowl.
