Rocking benefits of superfood sushi

  • Nori (the sheets) are a very nutrient rich superfood! Nori is rich in iodine, calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, which is great for thyroid health and the immune system,
  • Umeboshi Plum: A traditional Japanese pickled plum, that stimulates digestion and helps removes toxins from the body
  • Low Carb:  Overdone it on bread? we are trading in the sandwich bread for some low cal, highly nutritious nori!
  • Lemon Juice: The bitterness of the lemon stimulates digestion!
  • Protein: your added choice of protein will help you balance your blood sugar levels and keep you feeling full!

Ingredients:

  • 2 raw and organic nori sheets (store in the fridge after opening the packet)
  • 1/2 an avocado
  • 1/4 Lemon
  • salt & pepper to season
  • sliced vegetables of choice (cucumber, carrot, capsicum, snow peas..)

  • 1 tsp Umeboshi plum paste
  • a portion of protein (tuna, tempeh, chicken, salmon etc)
  • any other additional leftover, nuts and seeds or spices of your liking

Method

  1. In a small bowl, smash the avocado
