There are only a few foods that excite me the way a perfectly ripe avocado does. This immune-boosting, heart-healthy fruit contains so many nutrients it lives up to its frequent labelling as a “superfood“. That’s why I made this delicious avocado salad recipe.
Packed with healthy fat, folate, potassium, vitamins C and K, and fibre (to name a few), make avocados a fantastic beginner food for your infant. Ripe avocados can be mashed raw with a fork and given straight to your child. Make sure to scrape the inside of the skin-darker green means more nutrients!
