Avocados are actually pretty healthy, and easy to prepare for toddlers. Avocados are full of protein, as well as monounsaturated fat, which is the ‘healthy’ fat that can prevent heart disease.

When giving your toddler avocados, make sure not to give them too much as it can be very filling. Just give it to them as a side dish, and that’s enough for them to reap the nutrients that avocados have.

2. Eggs
