Student Curriculum Ambassadors WELLNESS Niloofar s Wellness Tip All About Avocados Are avocados a regular part of your diet? Maybe you eat one every day, or maybe you ve never even tried one before, but nutritionists are all about avocados. Dr. Axe recommends all his patients eat a whole avocado daily (you can cut them up and put them on your salads, blend them in your smoothies, add them to your sandwiches and more!) If you shop at Aldi, you can usually buy an avocado for around 40 cents. To find out more about the nutritional makeup of this amazing fruit, and to learn how to buy, cut, and cook with them, click on this very easy to read article below: Things to do in KC This Week http://dish.allrecipes.com/everythingavocado/?prop26=dailydish&prop28=everything%20avocado_9_1&prop29=title&prop25=3 9838&prop27=2016-07- 18&did=39838&eaid=8509575&hid=0d70cfca96993d51fa7399b5d85b09cbb5f75f30 Things to Do in KC This Week (Compiled from around the web.
