Avocado or Blueberries?
Both AARE considered a “superfood” so we obviously can’t go wrong with either one. But it’s good to view the differences if you have specific health goals.
- Avocado has more protein, healthy fat (Omega 3s), and fiber, while blueberries have more carbs. An easy win for avocado here, unless you’re on a calorie-controlled diet perhaps, since avocado is also higher in those.
- Avocado has more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, C, E, K, and choline, while blueberries are not higher in any vitamins. Pretty much a slam dunk here.
- Avocado is higher in minerals. It has more calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while blueberries are higher in manganese. Another win for avocados.
- Blueberries have about 1193x the polyphenol content that avocados do. Blueberries got the reputation for antioxidant properties for a reason; it is well-deserved!
Try adding an avocado to your salads to get more protein. Adding blueberries to your protein shakes and yogurt for healthy snacking!
How do you incorporate these snacks into your daily diet?
