Tips for Using Avocados  

  • When the boys aren’t eating avocados in a green smoothie, I often serve them up as a side at mealtime.
  • I even used avocados as a first food when I transitioned the kids onto solids. They make the perfect first food for babies [continuing into toddlerhood] because of the soft, smooth texture, and they have a low to moderate sweet and salty flavor profile, helping prevent those early preferences for sweet foods.

Some Nutrients in Avocados

  • Avocados are also higher in key developmental nutrients than other fruits
  • Nutrients such as folate, monounsaturated fats, fiber, and vitamins E and C to name a few.
  • Great to eat during pregnancy – avocados contain critical nutrients for fetal and infant health and development.
  • The naturally good monounsaturated fats in the avocados help with breastmilk quality and formation and send some of those same brain-boosting fats straight to the baby from the breastmilk.

DYK: Avocados contain less than 1 gram of sugar per serving— the least amount of any fresh fruit!

    Thank you for sharing this green smoothie recipe! I have been trying different green smoothie recipes to get more greens in my son but some of them are too complex to assemble in the morning when you have a “patient” toddler! 😉

    This smoothie looks so creamy and easy, I’m going to try this recipe tomorrow morning for my little guy. Thank you again!
