A healthy lifestyle embraces moderation, but also the ability to indulge on occasion. When that indulgence includes, what some consider, the world’s most perfect food, it’s a match made in heaven.
Avocados are high in fiber, healthy fats, vitamins A and E, and potassium. Chocolate and avocados are also known aphrodisiacs. The Aztecs had so much faith in the avocado’s aphrodisiac qualities that they forbid virgins to leave the house while they were being harvested.
Desserts that nourish your body have a special place in our hearts!
