Avocado Rounds
This is my new favorite go to snack and bread substitute. It is made with 5 easy ingredients and takes only 30 minutes to make. The main ingredient is avocado and it contains a wide range of nutrients. Health benefits of avocado consumption may include improving digestion, lowering the risk of depression, and preventing bone loss.Also known as an alligator pear or butter fruit, avocados are a type of berry. They grow in warm climates. Avocados provide a substantial amount of monounsaturated fatty acids and vitamins and minerals. They also have a substantial amount of fiber. Incorporating them into a varied, healthy diet can provide a number of benefits.Half an avocado provides approximately 18% of the daily value of vitamin K1.This nutrient is often overlooked but is essential for bone health. Taking in enough vitamin K1 can support bone health by increasing calcium absorption and reducing the urinary excretion of calcium.Recipe Source: Based loosely on Gimme-Delicious
