And finally, the AVOCADO FRIES!!
Avocados are a super healthy food and perfect for growing children. The fat in the avocado actually improves the absorption of the vitamins that are carried with it. Fat soluble nutrients such as caratonoids can be absorbed from 2-10X more than the vitamins without the presence of fat. Making avocados the PERFECT food!
The healthy fat in avocados can also stand alone in it’s benefits. The good fat is being shown to protect heart health, brain function, and contribute to the anti-inflammatory process. Avocados have also been shown to control blood sugar, insulin regulation, weight regulation and satiety. There is never a need to remove this power packed food from your families life!
