The Power of Avocados for Growing Kids
Kids can be particular about food at a young age, especially with fruit and veg, which makes the avocado the perfect kid-friendly addition to any meal because of its mild flavour and smooth texture. Avocados are a great way to get some vital sustenance to children’s diets as they are a powerhouse of essential nutrients that can support the growth and development of children.
Here’s how:
-Rich in Healthy Fats: The monounsaturated fats in avocados are heart-healthy and help maintain steady energy levels.
– High in Fibre: Avocados support digestive health and help keep kids full and satisfied.
– Packed with Vitamins and Minerals: Including vitamins C, E, K, and B-group, as well as folate, magnesium, and potassium, which are vital for overall health and can help improve brain functioning and performance.
– Low in Sugar, Salt and Saturated Fats: Replacing sweet treats, or fatty or salty elements of a meal with avocados could make all the difference.
Easy, Avo-Licious Ways to Incorporate Avocados into School Lunches
1. In a sandwich
The great thing about avocados is that due to their mild and smooth flavour, slices of avocados can be a delicious addition to any sandwich. Take sandwiches to the next level in terms of both flavour and nutrition!
2. In a smoothie
Avocados are the perfect ingredient to throw into any fruit smoothie for young ones, their creamy texture can make smoothies thicker and tastier without the need to add in dairy products like milk or ice cream.
3. As a snack
Avocados, like most fruits, can be enjoyed simply on their own as a snack that is both low in sugar and salt. A spoon is all a kid needs to scoop out the fresh insides of half an avocado as part of their lunchtime feast. Alternatively, cutting an avocado into bite-size slices is another fantastic method! Remember to add a squeeze of lemon or drizzle of olive oil to an open avocado to prevent it from going brown.
