Olympic Gold Medal Winner Provides Kids Recipe For Success.

Recent Olympic Gold Medal winner and Chilean tennis superstar Fernando Gonzalez knows that it takes stamina, speed and quick reflexes to compete at the Summer Olympics in Athens. He relies on a nutritious diet to supply the energy for a winning match. As kids head back to school they too will need the stamina from a nutritious diet. Gonzalez recommends his favorite fitness food, Hass avocados for loading up on energy producing nutrients.

After-school snacks play a key role in providing the energy to manage active days at school, sports activities and other extracurricular events. Before the kids dash out, train them like champions with Hass avocados for a nutritious after school snack. They are easy to prepare, provide essential vitamins and nutrients and are versatile in kid-friendly foods such as smoothies.

“Avocados are a regular part of my fitness routine,” says Gonzalez. “An icy cold avocado smoothie is my usual snack – but, when I’m in a hurry I just scoop and eat.”

“Gonzo” as he is known in the U.S. tennis circuit, can play a powerful round of tennis. In his home country of Chile, Gonzalez is the top-ranked player especially noted for his powerful forehand.

“I’ve seen that teaming up healthy eating with regular exercise is a winning combination for victory,” says Gonzalez. “Avocados are definitely my secret ingredient as I prepare for the Athens games.”
