Avocados, your new best friends (or maybe you already have a love affair with them). Avocado boats are a great way to increase your daily fat intake, fill a hunger gap, and make for a speedy lunch if you’re pushed for time. An avocado would be lost without its best mate, salt, so make sure you give them a generous pinch! Avocados are nature’s bowls, so fill them with what you fancy to make a delicious and satisfying meal.

Cut the avocado down the middle, twist the two halves to separate, and remove the stone.

Top with a dollop of cottage cheese (longley is low in carbohydrates), a pinch of salt and a dash of smoked paprika.
