This is my go-to breakfast when I need a shot of energy but don’t have much time to prepare food. The apricots are packed with soluble fibre, which helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels and digestive movement, while the monounsaturated fat in the avocado further slows the release of sugars from the fruit and is beneficial for cardiovascular health. Apricot and avocado are also a powerhouse combination for skin health: the fats help with the absorption of the antioxidant beta-carotene from the orange-coloured flesh, while avocados are exceptionally rich in vitamin E, which has powerful antioxidant properties for healthy skin and eyes.
