Nourishment Notes

Eggs

Eggs are an excellent source of protein to help the body grow new cells. They also contain lutein that may promote eye health and choline, which is important for memory.

Avocado

Avocados are both a fruit and a fat, and contain a variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to help keep your body working it’s best.

RA Cooking Tips

  • Eggs

    Purchase pre-scrambled eggs instead of whisking your own. This will save time and decrease hand strain.

  • Avocado

    Purchase pre-made guacamole instead of cutting an avocado. Bonus: the extra spices in the guacamole will add a fun and flavorful twist to the dish!
