Avocado Mango Milk Shake

AvocadoMangoMilkshake

One-fifth of a medium avocado, or about one ounce, has 50 calories and contributes nearly 20 beneficial

nutrients to the diet. Avocados contribute nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, including 4%

of the recommended Daily Value (DV) for vitamin E, 4% vitamin C, 8% folate, 4% fiber, 2% iron, 4%

potassium, with 81 micrograms of lutein and 19 micrograms of beta-carotene. Mango is a good source

of Vitamin A, C and dietary fiber, but is high in sugar, so if you are on a diabetic diet and looking for

low glycemic diet, Mango is not for you. Raw milk is a good source of calcium.
