Avocado Deviled Eggs

These deviled eggs are a healthy alternative to the traditional version, replacing the mayonnaise with avocado for added nutrition and creaminess. Enjoy with a vitamin C-rich fruit juice, like pineapple to help with iron absorption!

Get kids involved with helping to mash and spoon the filling! Make sure all helpers wash their hands before helping in the kitchen.
