Limes and avocados – a match made in nutrition heaven!
Limes are an excellent source of antioxidants. These powerful compounds protect your body from the oxidative damage caused by free radicals, chemicals, environmental, lifestyle and dietary stresses to cells. One of these powerful antioxidants is vitamin C, which when combined with the vitamin E in avocados, boosts your body’s absorption of that protective vitamin C. Now that’s making your food work for you!
Limes are also a good source of the electrolyte minerals potassium, calcium, and magnesium – all good news for the active adult’s bone and muscular health.
And if that weren’t exciting enough (don’t you get excited about delicious food that optimizes your health and performance?!) avocados are an excellent source of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) which plays a crucial role in energy production and fat metabolism –> more good-food news for your active lifestyle!
This simple dessert is cool and refreshing, making this the perfect warm weather dessert for your next summertime get-together!
