I was walking through the grocery store this morning with the beautiful music of my toddler singing, “Mommy, avocado, avocado!!” She knows my weekly ritual of standing at the produce table picking through the plethora of Avocados From Mexico, trying to find the perfect batch to bring home. Avocados are one of our favorite fruits (I had no idea they were a fruit either) and the convenience of having fresh Hass avocados year-round makes this a staple food in our family diet, and my go-to gem when hosting a mommy playdate. A good avocado toast must always make an appearance, and kids thrive off the extra vitamins and fiber when you toss some avocado into a smoothie before playtime.
