From their heart-healthy benefits and skin-loving nutrients to their unique versatility in recipes and making snack times extra delicious, we love having avocados every day! Here are 19 great reasons why you should fall in love with avocado too (if you haven't already!):
No matter what eating guidelines you follow, the humble avocado works for all!
Avocados are packed with beneficial nutrients to enhance the nutrient quality of your meals.
Substitute butter and margarine for a healthy spread of avocado. You'll boost your nutrient intake, and it tastes great!
Not much of a sweet tooth? Avocados are actually a fruit, so they count towards your fruit intake!
Avocados are always in season so you can enjoy them all year round!
Known for guacamole, dips, and other savory dishes, yet avocados are appearing more and more in sweet dishes too. Think chocolate mousse, ganache, smoothies and ice cream!
They may be a fruit, but they contain less than 1g of sugar per ounce!
They're firm enough for tiny fingers, yet mashable and soft enough to be gentle on gums. Rich in healthy fats, fiber, and other nutrients, it makes a great addition to your baby's first foods.
Over 75% of the fat content in an avocado is great for your heart! In fact, having more of these healthy unsaturated fats is better for your heart than eating low fat!
Avocados contain 81mg of lutein & zeaxanthin, antioxidants known to support eye health as we age.
Simply cut an avocado in half, and fill with all sorts of things, from sauerkraut and salsa to diced roast vegetables, a few spoons of curry or bake an egg in it!
A serve of avocado contains 3.5g of unsaturated fat required for healthy brain and nervous system development
Swap butter or coconut oil for pureed avocado. You won't taste it, trust us!
Need something to be thicker, creamier, like say, a decadent chocolate mousse, or healthy banana thickshake? Add some avocado!
Battling a cholesterol problem? Avocados are the richest known fruit source of phytosterols, a natural plant compound that competes with dietary cholesterol absorption.
Containing folate, vitamin E, B vitamins, iron, choline, and fiber, they're great for both yourself and your growing baby throughout the entire pregnancy, from conception, birth and beyond.
Bananas are known for their potassium content, but per 100g, the avocado fruit contains 485mg of potassium, that's 127mg more than bananas!
All you need is a little sea salt, cracked pepper and a spoon!
A brilliant, dairy-free, vegan alternative to store-bought ice cream varieties, simply blend 1/2 an avocado and a squeeze of lime juice with 2 tbsp of maple syrup and 1 cup of your milk of choice. Pour into ice block molds and freeze. Delicious!

Ever feel like your 9-5 is killing you? Well, if you spend all that time sitting down, it just might be.
Indeed, numerous studies indicate that the health impacts of continuous sitting cannot be reduced through daily exercise. Even in physically active people, sitting increases their health risks. And this risk has been found to increase with every two hours of time spent sitting.
