Health Benefits of Avocados

Avocados are good for you, so feel free to use them in and on everything. We love this healthy low-carb turkey club egg wrap and even use them in desserts, like this vegan chocolate mousse.

Avocados are a terrific way to get more fiber, protein, and potassium into your diet, not to mention that their healthy fats can actually reduce your risk of heart disease. [Also read: 5 Amazing Health Benefits of Avocados]

Health Benefits of Spinach

We all know spinach is good for you too. It’s loaded with anti-oxidants that can protect against cancers, promote eye health, and fight inflammation, to name just a few of its benefits. And, if you’re a vegan or vegetarian, spinach is a wonderful way to get more iron into your diet.

This avocado and spinach pasta recipe includes walnuts, olive oil, garlic, and other healthy ingredients as well, but best of all, it tastes incredible!

Serve this flavorful sauce with any of your favorite pasta. We like to garnish this creamy avocado spinach pasta dish with parsley, cherry tomatoes, and vegan parmesan cheese. (Of course, dairy parmesan is fine too if you’re not eating vegan.)
