"Satisfy your sweet tooth while increasing your fruit intake with these delicious snacks. Dietary fiber from fruit, as part of an overall healthy diet, helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease. Fresh avocados are a good source of fiber and a great way to add variety to your snacking routine."
Chocolate Almond Avocado Oat Bites are a snack I’m recently obsessing over.
Fresh avocados are a huge staple in my diet I love to add them to any meal or incorporate them into my mid-day snacks. Avocados make the perfect snack because they’re a good source of fiber and provide naturally good fats that can help promote heart health and do not raise LDL cholesterol. Plus, they’re so fun to get creative with in the kitchen. You can use heart healthy avocados in so many dishes to keep things fun and add more variety to your diet!
This tasty snack is the perfect ways to add in those healthy fats! 🥑🥑🥑

Integrated bracelets currently being, as the younger generation likes to say, "a thing," it's easy to guess why Omega has breathed new life into link the Constellation at this time. The company certainly knows a thing or two about selling watches, and these new Constellations, while not the stuff of watch geek fodder that the stainless steel Speedy 321 sure is, seem likely to link be a really big link commercial success.
And it might get insulting here, but I prefer the two-hander over the tourbillon. As said, I like things plain and simple, and now Daniel Roth introduces its link second Extra-Plat link model, the rose link gold reference DBBD01A1.
The past decade has proven that vintage style – timepieces taken from a company's heritage to be reissued, faithfully reproduced or strongly link inspired by the past but equipped with contemporary innovations – is more link than just link a passing trend.
This Seiko watch used link by ESA astronauts is link a model that is difficult to get in the pre-owned market. Only few pieces have been offered on the usual on-line auction websites and watch market places. Expect to pay link quite a bit if you DO find one.
Likely my favorite model from NOMOS’ entire line-up, the quirky, affordable, nicely made, and endlessly versatile Club Campus is a watch literally created to be engraved. Available in 37, 38, and 39mm models, with either NOMOS’ long-standing Alpha link caliber ($1,650) or the brand’s in-house Neomatic link (from $2,780), these models have a caseback with minimal text and plenty of link room for an engraving.
