The Mini Chef Video Contest is hosted by Avocados from Mexico, and is running right now, for parents with children ages 5-15. You have until Dec. 4th to get your 1-3 minute videos in. You will want to prepare a kid friendly avocado recipe. In the video you will want to have your child/children share why they love avocados, and the catchy Avocados from Mexico jingle found on their website. Once you have submitted your recipe to Mini Chef Video Contest, check back on Dec. 6th to see if you have made it into the top 10. Public voting will take place Dec. 6-11 on YouTube. The video with the most likes wins the grand prize, but all top 10 finalists will be walking away with those fabulous prizes mentioned above. Judges will be looking at personality and presence of avocados in the video.
What a great contest. I love avocados, and the best part is they are so good for you. They are packed full of vitamins and nutrients essential for child development and growth. As a hypoglycemic, my doctor encourages me to eat avocado daily. Just 3 slices of this creamy green fruit (yes I checked it's a fruit), packs potassium, fiber, folate, vitamin C, E, and B-Complex vitamins, that support memory and brain function (sounds like it's a good thing I love them). If your kids don't enjoy them already, then maybe this video contest can be a fun way to get them excited about this amazing fruit.
To get your juices flowing, here is my recipe for a Fiesta Philly Guacamole, and yes it has bacon in it too.

Of course avocados are so much more then guacamole. I can't wait to see all of your creative recipes for them. Please if you enter the contest, leave us a link below in a comment, so we can check out your kid(s) video, and if they make it to the top ten, vote to help them win! Good Luck and get cooking.
