Vitaminis Avocado Smoothie
Not only do avocados taste delicious, but they are incredibly nutritious as well. With 3 grams of fiber and no sugar, they are essentially the only fruit with good fats. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, replacing saturated fats like those in butter and other full-fat spreads, can reduce the LDL (bad) cholesterol level in the blood, which can lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. The unsaturated fat in avocados can also act as a nutrient booster by helping increase the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A ,D, K and E. Read more about the benefits of avocados here.
