Avocado time



Benefits of Avocados:

Avocados are considered nutritiously dense, and they have a relatively low number of calories per serving. One-fifth of a medium avocado has 50 calories and 4.5 grams of fat -- 3 g of monounsaturated fat, 0.5 g of polyunsaturated fat and 0.5 g of saturated fat. Each serving also has eight percent of the daily value of vitamin K, seven percent of the daily value of folate, and four percent of the daily value of vitamins C and E as well as several B vitamins: B6, pantothenic acid, niacin and riboflavin. Avocados also have four percent of the daily value of potassium, two percent of the daily value of the B vitamin thiamin and two percent of the daily value of magnesium.

Eat:
Avocado toast

I keep seeing avocado toast all over instagram and decided I had to search it out on Pinterest and of course found some great, and easy options to try:)  Here is one I've tried recently.

Avocado toast with Goat Cheese (yummy!)

Beauty:
Avocado hair mask


This is great to do during the weekend to revive your hair during the winter months.  Love the avocado mask how to here.
