Fun Fact: Did you know that avocados are actually berries with a single seed?! AMAZING!
This tasty berry is a favorite here at Oak Meadow, and with good reason. Avocados are full of potassium, folate, healthy fats, fiber, and so much more.
To celebrate this super food, we found a delicious brownie recipe, perfect for parents and younger students to make together. Enjoy!
