6 Super Avocado Recipes

Fit Girls get their super powers from many sources and of course one of those sources are super foods. There are many out there, but avocados are the cream of the crop in my opinion. Fit Girl Anna already gave us the low down on some of the great health benefits of this fruit (you can check them out here) but here are 6 super avocado recipes if you need to be persuaded further as to why you should make avocados a staple in your diet and convince you of their versatility too. 

Avocado and Banana Ice Lollies

 Mango, Orange & Avocado Salad

OK there had to be one salad recipe in here but if adding avocado to a salad sounds too boring, the flavours from the fruit and dressing make this refreshing and perfect for summer.
