Avocado has become like a food celebrity, and we must say that it’s not by an accident. It is super nutritious, provides many health benefits and has a good flavour and rich texture. Don't know how to include avocados in your daily routine or want to freshen up your menu with some new ideas? Don’t worry about a thing. In this roundup, we'll share 8 of our favourite avocado recipes.

The delicious large berry aka avocado is amazing in everything it contains and even in what it doesn’t. Avocados contain a lot of different nutrients, including 20 different vitamins and minerals and at the same time any cholesterol or sodium.

Avocado is high in healthy fats, but low in saturated ones. Knowing that some nutrients need to be combined with fat to be utilized, can be concluded that avocados are not only nutritious by themselves but also increase the nutrient value of other plant foods that you are eating.

Some studies have also found a correlation between avocado consumption and dietary habits in general. Avocado consumers tend to be healthier and have a much higher nutrient intake, so, next time when buying groceries, put some avocados in your basket and enjoy our favourite avocado recipes.
