Avocados are such an amazing food. Did you know that avocados are also known as alligator pears? Cute :) A serving has about 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. According to webmd.com:
“Avocados are a good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamins C,K, folate, and B6. Half an avocado has 160 calories, 15 grams of heart-healthy unsaturated fat, and only 2 grams saturated fat. One globe contains more than one-third daily value of vitamin C, and more than half the day’s requirements of vitamin K.“
Here is a collection of amazing recipes for avocado lovers and some sneaky ways to serve up more avocado for those who aren’t a fan.
