When seasons are about to change I am usually adding more avocados to my daily raw meals. Avocados are rich in immune system supporting zinc. This is something to consider well ahead before the cold season.
There are many ways to eat avocado. One of the easiest is to slice it up a serve it on a bed of crispy lettuce leaves. If you have more time at your hands you can turn nicely ripe avocados into delicious salad dressings. I hope you get inspired.
