They say an avocado a day keeps the bland meals away! Packed with healthy fats, fiber, vitamins like E and K, and minerals like potassium and magnesium, avocados are a great addition to any diet. But since they’re calorie-dense, moderation is key. As Ms. Nava always says, “Everything in moderation - never overdoing it to avoid health consequences.”
Ready for some delicious avocado recipes? I’ve got a Avocado Yogurt Dip, two fabulous salads, and a unique avocado raisin dessert lined up. All are super easy to whip up, with just a bit of pan-frying needed for the tofu (EASY VEGETARIAN BREAD PUDDING).
