Looking for a simple, all natural shampoo that will actually clean your hair and will keep your hair moisturized and damaged free? This cheap, easy to make avocado based shampoo is the all natural solution that you have been looking for!

Ingredients:

One Avocado
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup baking soda

Directions:
  1. Peel and cut up the avocado. Beat the avocado with a fork until you get a smooth, creamy consistency.
  2. Stir in milk, honey, and baking soda and mix well.

That's it! This avocado shampoo is thick enough that you can work it into your scalp and into your hair. Some all natural shampoos are not thick enough to mess with long hair, but this shampoo is thick. The baking soda will scrub away dirt and debris without damaging or drying out your hair. The avocado oil helps moisturize and protect dry or damaged hair. The honey also helps protect the hair and adds a touch of scent.

This all natural DIY shampoo will only hold for about 3 to 4 days and you will want to store it in the refrigerator between uses.

Authentic Mexican Guacamole Dip with Nabisco Reduced Fat Wheat Thins



Authentic Mexican Guacamole Dip with Nabisco Reduced Fat Wheat Thins - Healthy Choices Daily
Our Authentic Mexican Guacamole Dip is a delicious, healthy snack, appetizer, or light lunch and goes great with Nabisco Reduced Fat Wheat Thins

Ingredients:

1 Medium Avocado
3 Medium Cherry Tomatoes
1/4 Medium Onion
1/2 Medium Fresh Lime
1 Tsp. Olive Oil
Valentina Salsa Picante (Optional)
Nabisco Reduced Fat Wheat Thins

Preparation:

Cut the avocado into two halves. Scoop the halves out of the avocado shell with a large spoon and remove the pit. Save the pit for leftovers as it will keep the Authentic Mexican Guacamole Dip from turning brown as fast. Slice the avocado into small pieces and place in mixing bowl, or directly into the bowl you will serve the Authentic Mexican Guacamole Dip in.

Rinse and chop the cherry tomatoes according to your desired thickness. If you like a very soft and smooth Authentic Mexican Guacamole Dip, be sure to chop the cherry tomatoes as finely as possible. Add the cherry tomatoes with the avocado.

Chop one quarter of an onion into pieces, again as large are as fine as desired, and add to the avocado and cherry tomatoes. Cut half of a lime into 2 or 3 wedges and squeeze the lime juice over the avocados, cherry tomatoes, and onions, then add the teaspoon of olive oil and optional Valentina Salsa Picante or your favorite hot sauce to give it a slightly spicy flare.

With a fork, mix everything up until the Authentic Mexican Guacamole Dip has reached the desired consistency. Enjoy with Nabisco Reduced Fat Wheat Thins!
