Some fat-soluble nutrients that may be better absorbed by the body if consumed with a little healthy fat:
Lutein
Beta Carotene
Lycopene
Zeaxanthin
Vitamin E
Fat soluble means that some fat needs to be present for the body to adequately absorb the nutrients. This is one reasons why avocado is a superfood (the nutrients are absorbed so well because of the healthy fat in the avoacado).
