This recipe is a family favorite. It’s great for you too! Avocados have a great source of the good fat (monounsaturated) and 605 more potassium than bananas. They are rich in vitamin B as well as E and K.

Here’s a great site to learn more about the wonderful avocado – The California Avocado Commission.
