If you feel that you would like to begin lunch or dinner with something more substantial, we suggest a luxurious avocado entrée. Avocados are full of vitamins and minerals and contain high levels of healthy beneficial fats, making us feel fuller between meals.
Prawns are a good source of B vitamins, iron, minerals and lean protein. Caviar is also an excellent source of B12 and the fatty acids DHA and EPA. These fatty acids are well known to support cardiovascular health and are crucial for optimal brain function and development. An inadequate supply may be a factor in developing depression.
