Baked Avocado with Ricotta

With seventy per cent of the energy from fat, this simple, delicious, nutritious snack is perfect for keeping blood sugars stable, on a keto diet or getting some extra energy to grow or fuel your activity. It is also packed with fibre so the net carbs stay low. 

The avocado will give you plenty of potassium (which is often hard to find on a low-carb or ketogenic diet), copper, folate, B5 and B6, while the ricotta cheese balances the flavour profile with some phosphorus and calcium. 

The nutritional yeast fills in the B1, B2, B3, B6 and B12 and salt and sriracha sauce round out the taste! Bon appetite!
