* To decrease your sodium intake, consider preparing a seasoning mixture of 1/2 salt and 1/2 milk thistle. Use a coffee grinder devoted to spices and herbs to grind to desired consistency. Save in covered container and use in place of salt.
** Alternatively, place mashed avocado on toast and sprinkle other ingredients on top. Mixing them in will temper their flavors more while sprinkling them on top will leave them stronger tasting.
