This season is full with a huge variety of colorful fruits!
Well, contrary to the smoothie I posted earlier this week, today is for avocado lovers like me.
A smoothie that indulges the taste, color and texture of this great fruit.
It’s a super green smoothie. And for those of you who try to avoid avocado or just don’t like it, I am going to give you few information about how important it is to include this beautiful fruit in your diet.
Avocado is a unique fruit; Most fruits, consist mainly from carbs, while avocado is filled with healthy fats. It is rich in vitamins K, C, B5, and B6 and E. Avocado is also rich in potassium and contains a small amount of magnesium, iron, zinc, vitamin A and many other vitamins.
Contrary to most people’s beliefs, avocados do not contain any cholesterol or sodium and are low in saturated fat.
Yes, avocado is full of fat, but not any kind of fat, guys! The majority of the fat in avocado is oleic acid. Oleic acid has been linked to reducing inflammation. It has proven to have beneficial effects on genes linked to cancer. The fats in avocado are also pretty resistant to heat-induced oxidation, making avocado oil a healthy and safe choice for cooking. And to make it even more perfect, avocados are loaded with fiber. The list goes on and on about the benefits of avocado, this is just a quick look on how powerful this fruit is for more info check this link!
now back to our lovely green smoothie, I wanted to keep the taste of avocado very clear like its color so I added the ingredients that nourish that sweet taste of avocado and make it more yummy!
