Avocado & Blueberries


AVOCADO & BLUEBERRIES
I am going to whip up a quick snack to take along on a boat ride.   I have just recently become a fan of Avocados.  Imagine all the vital nutrients in this varying size oval shape fruit I have missed out on?! NO MORE!! Avocados will no longer be ignored in my world.  Avocados are high in fiber and inhabit 20 wonderful vitamins under that skin and offers polyunsaturated and monounsaturated.   THE GOOD FAT!! They are sodium, cholesterol and trans-fat free.  YAY!!  I’m going combine blueberries to give the dish a nice twang.   They’re small but can hold their own bringing to the mix a great feast of nutrients and extreme amounts of antioxidant phytonutrients.  These are non-vitamin and non-mineral but still quite beneficial to the body and heart.  They contain antioxidants equivalent to 1800 IU of Vitamin E and 1200 milligrams of Vitamin C.  Phytonutrients help the body and brain cells communicate more efficiently with one another and we all know the importance of communication in life.   Few arguments between these two I bet:)
