Avocado is that one ingredient which is not just loaded with a number of vitamins and minerals but it can become a part of your daily diet in many ways. Scooping it neatly and eating it every morning is not just one option you have. Throw it in your blender with a couple of veggies and your smoothie is done. Spread it over your toast with a drizzle of olive oil and you have a winning alternative for the regular bread and butter.

So just in case you are planning a brunch and you have a tough bunch to impress, you can always count on the buttery, tropical flavour of the avocado. Here are a few ways of experimenting with avocado
