We’ve all heard about the health benefits of avocados. The tropical fruit is filled with healthy ingredients to the brim and has been confirmed to reduce the risk of several serious ailments.
Avocados are full of antioxidants, healthy fats, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals which is why they’re rightfully called a superfood.
Furthermore, avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats that can boost our fat metabolism. They also contain oleic acids and a great amount of vitamin E as well as lutein and zeaxanthin, two powerful antioxidants.
These compounds can greatly reduce the oxidative stress in our bodies, reducing the risk of several conditions and diseases.
The fruit also contains a lot of potassium and folate which can create an alkaline environment in our bodies and keep our health in check. Here’s the recipe:

*½ cup nut butter

Directions
- Preheat the oven at 325 F. In the meantime, put parchment paper in a cooking tray and sprinkle some coconut oil on it.
- Mix everything in a blender except for the chocolate chips and mix well.
