Avocados are a powerhouse of nutrition all the way around. These rich, green fruits are packed with prebiotic fiber, and important vitamins and minerals including vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B6, folate (vitamin B9), potassium, magnesium, and carotenoids which are plant compounds that support eye and skin health, including lutein and zeaxanthin. Avocados are well-known for their benefits for heart health, glowing skin and hair, and gut health support making them one of nature’s finest superfoods… along with Lifeway Kefir!
