What makes these brownies so good? Avocados give off that messy texture that everyone loves. Full of healthy fats, fiber and full of antioxidants. Because it’s so nutrient-dense, it’s one of the best anti-aging superfoods on the planet. Another essential nutrient found in avocados is oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat known to increase fat metabolism.
Additionally, they contain the carotenoid antioxidants lutein, zeaxanthin, potassium, folic acid as well as vitamin E. Avocados can also reduce oxidative stress which is the imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body. In general, avocado is indeed a super food. The benefits are nearly endless. Not only does it provide beneficial antioxidants, but it also helps your body process them better.
