Avocados - 1 of my favorite things about California


Avocados are amazing little powerhouses of nutrition and taste. Add them to quinoa and not only are your tastebuds happy, so is your entire body. No need for meat, quinoa is a complete protein (the only kind of "grain" that is), and avocados provide more protein and energy than unprocessed meat. As well, avocados are an excellent food, and a well deserved indulgence, for many nursing mothers who want to optimize the extra calories needed to produce milk.
This gorgeous avocado became part of a quinoa bowl with black beans and microgreens. My five year old who isn't crazy about meat loved it.
