Did you know: Avocados

[andzigallery]

1/5 of a medium avocado has a daily value of these nutrients

• Vitamin K--8%
• Folate--7%
• and 4% across the board for these nutrients: pyridoxine (vitamin B6),
   vitamin C & E, Panothenic acid, potassium, riboflavin, niacin and fiber
  

Avocados, first and foremost, are fruits that are very nutrient dense.  They act as a "nutrient booster" because they help the body to absorb more fat-soluble nutrients.  They are fruits packed with nutrients you need but may not be getting enough of.

I also learned from my daughter that you can make a delicious chocolate pudding with one medium size avocado, semi-sweet dark chocolate, and a tablespoon of milk.  Avocados can be used in smoothies as a substitute for bananas.
