Avocado and Spinach Spaghetti

YUMM-IE! This is such a delicious spaghetti dish full of creamy avocado textures, with sweet notes that add an explosion of flavour!  Forget calorie-rich cream and instead say hello to a superfood spaghetti sauce that tastes so damn delicious. Garlicky, buttery and everything else you would want from a warming bowl of food that tastes amazing and is good for your body too.

I made it for after a gruelling legs and bum workout, which I’ve shared with you all here so you can give it a try (Don’t be alarmed if you find it a struggle to sit the next day!). A big bowl of spaghetti isn’t usually my go-to for the evening, but it’s perfect for a post workout meal or whenever you fancy a comforting night in – and the best part is you feel anything but guilty eating it! Take me back 5 years and a movie night would more likely encompass a pizza as opposed to healthy spaghetti!

On the note of healthy, I’m going to be posting my recipe for the ultimate easter treats for next Sunday so keep your eyes peeled! It’s always hard walking down the supermarket aisles and seeing over-sized chocolate eggs filled with goodies staring at you in the face, but when the healthy alternative is totally scrumptious, it makes it that bit easier!

I added a poached egg on top of my Avocado spaghetti for more protein plus I love the texture of oozing egg yolk wrapped up with creamy spaghetti…but up to you! Enjoy! xx
