I saw you on You and Me in the morning today making healthy appetizers. I can’t find the recipe for the avocado/shrimp cocktail. Can you give me the recipe? I looked on theamazingavocado.com. I’d like to make it for a holiday dinner this weekend. Thank you! Love you and your ideas!! Cindy

    Any recipes fit on the Superfood Swap plan! Just make sure they are in the right RATIO on your plate (a little grain + a little protein + lots of veggies w/ 100 calories ISH of topping)… and that the recipe ingredients are REAL food, not CRAP! xx
