Notes

You can also add grated beetroot or pureed spinach for extra flavor and a bright color.
Avocados are rich in healthy fat and fiber. It fulfills 69% of the daily requirement of Vitamin C and 8% of the daily requirements of Vitamin E.
Moong sprouts contain antioxidants such as vitexin and isovitexin that aid protection against free radical damage that occurs during heatstroke.
