- seeds - using a variety of seeds will give you the most health benefits. Suggestions include pepitas, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds.

💭 FAQS
To keep avocados from turning brown, add some sea salt and lemon juice and give it a stir. This won't keep them from turning brown forever, but it will hinder the process.
For best results, serve recipe immediately. Storing in the refrigerator eventually turns the avocado brown.
