3 ripe Avocado's, smashed
3/4 cup Salsa
1/4 cup Sour Cream
1 drops doTERRA Lime essential oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Mix all of the ingredients together and enjoy on tortilla chips! To lighten this recipe up, use low-fat or non-fat sour cream and enjoy it on fresh vegetables, baked chips or as a spread in a sandwich, wrap or burrito. If you prefer, substitute 1 drop lemon oil instead of lime oil. If you prefer a really strong citrus flavor like I do, use 2 drops oil. Enjoy!

Using Essential Oils in Food
There are so many fun and creative ways to use essential oils. doTERRA's oils are 100% pure therapeutic grade essential oils which means they are completely safe for taking internally. Along with being extremely therapeutic, oils are also tasty. Anytime a recipe calls for an herb or seasoning that is available in oil form through doTERRA, I will use the oil instead. Keep in mind how potent the oils are when using them in your favorite recipes, usually only 1 drop or less is needed. If less than a drop is needed, dabbing the end of a tooth pick in the oil to mix it into your recipe works great. Over time I will be sharing yummy recipes that you can use oils in. After you make 'em and take 'em on a test drive in your mouth, tell me what you think in the comments section! Also feel free to share any yummy recipes you use the oils in.

Intro to Essential Oils
What is an essential oil? If you have ever walked by a lavender field, or smelt fresh cut mint or basil, then you have experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. They are what give plants their distinctive smells but essential oils do so much more than produce a beautiful fragrance. The oils are what plants use to protect themselves against predators and disease. When we extract the oils from the plants we can use them to protect ourselves against disease. They are a natural medicine and have many therapeutic benefits.
Why choose doTERRA Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils? They are far superior than any other oil on the market. doTERRA gets their oils from the most experienced growers from around the world and from the plants with the highest potency, providing the most therapeutic benefits to their customers. They are carefully tested beyond the industry standard. All other oils are tested to make sure they have therapeutic quality oil but doTERRA is the only company that takes it a step further. Not only do they test the purity of the oils, they also do a second test to ensure the oils do not have any harmful pesticides, chemicals, synthetics or any other compounds that could harm you. This is the reason why, unlike other oil companies, all doTERRA oils are safe to take internally. You can be assured that the essential oils you receive from doTERRA will be 100% pure, 100% of the time.
