Avocado don't just contain the essential nutrients that our bodies require to function properly; they taste delicious too!
This nutrient-dense fruit contains an astonishingly high number of different vitamins and minerals. It's also rich in mono- and polyunsaturated fats, which are considered nutritionally good fats, similar to nuts and olive oil. And since avocados are so delicious and satisfying to eat, they'll fill you up, but they definitely won't slow you down.
Avocado smoothies are a delicious way to start your morning. Avocados add a rich, creamy consistency to smoothies. Technically a fruit, but more like a vegetable in nutrients, avocado is full of fiber, potassium, vitamin B, and vitamin E, and healthy fats.
Because avocados are high in inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids, be sure to increase your omega-3s to balance the 6s. Then you’ll be fine to eat up to a couple of avocados a day. And with the variety of avocado smoothies on our menu, you’ll have no problem with that.
