One of my favorite things about Instagram is how it connects people. Our Purely Elizabeth community is truly the best, and I love connecting through tagged photos and messages to get to know everyone more.
It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with the account and mind behind @avokween. Ali’s love for color, nut butter drizzle + avocado makes for some seriously awesome content. So I asked if she had any fun Purely Elizabeth recipes she would be interested in sharing, and the “Kween” did not disappoint.
