I’ve always loved avocados. They are healthy, high in fiber and help to lower cholesterol. Avocado is packed with over 20 vitamins and minerals and practically anyone can eat them – as they are gluten free, dairy free, vegan and vegetarian. Many of those who live in Boulder eat alternative diets, and it’s no surprise we’ve been ranked one of the healthiest and happiest cities in the U.S. Maybe avocados have something to do with that.

Alpine Modern Café is a peculiar local gem, located at the corner of 9^th Street and College Avenue that is turning this amazing food into a delicious breakfast. Just thinking about their avocado tartine makes my mouth water! It should be at the top of your list for foods in Boulder you must try. I love studying at this café because it’s not only around the corner from my house but has a great atmosphere. They also sell some delicious teas and other snacks.

Obviously avocados make a great snack, but even better are when they are spread beautifully across a piece of whole-grain toast, drizzled in paprika and olive oil.
