Nutritional values

The avocado contains valuable fatty acids and vitamins that can help with concentration, the goat cheese strengthens the muscles with its easily digestible protein, and the ciabatta bread provides satisfying carbohydrates.

You can always substitute the goat cheese with mozzarella or feta cheese for a more mild flavor.
