● Avocados: the top summer food for refreshing meals and drink.
● This superfood is 73% water and has heart-healthy fats and essential nutrients.
● Explore a delicious and refreshing cocktail.
When the sun starts to shine brighter, avocados often shine as a star ingredient. The warmer months usually make most of us crave cooling flavours to help quench our thirst and beat the heat.
Staying hydrated is crucial during the hot summer months, and avocados are around 73% water – an ideal addition to any meal to get that refreshing sensation. In addition, due to their smooth and creamy texture, they can cool and cleanse the palette without even needing to be chilled.
More importantly, avocados are a super healthy superfood that can transform the usual salads and summer meals and elevate them to be not just delicious, but also nutritious. Rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, avocados can help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and support cardiovascular health. Additionally, they are a great source of vitamins and minerals, including potassium, magnesium, and vitamins K, E and B, which are essential for various bodily functions.
Summer is here which is why the World Avocado Organization has developed a delicious cocktail recipe for getting through a hot summer’s day!
