Holy Guacamole! 5 Ways to Splurge on Nature's Fantastic Fat
Avocadoes are loaded with antioxidants, beneficial vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. So add them to your diet, today!
Little can compare to the guilty pleasure of dunking a crispy tortilla chip into a dish of creamy fresh guacamole. But stop feeling guilty! After all, you’d be hard-pressed to find a healthier fruit than the mighty avocado. Here’s how to add its green goodness to your daily diet:
- Swap your salty, oily chips for carrots, celery—or any other fresh veggies that suit your taste buds' fancy—and dive into fresh guacamole.
- Stir chopped avocado into any salsa, and smother tonight’s grilled chicken with it.
- Flavor your sandwiches with slices of avocado—they’re an oh-so yummy addition to turkey burgers, too.
- Substitute your usual topping on bagels, baked potatoes, and toast with lower-calorie One-Minute Avocado Spread. It’s got far fewer calories and grams of fat than butter, cream cheese, or mayo, and boy, oh boy is it delicious. Here’s how you can whip some up for yourself:
In a medium bowl, mash 1 medium seeded and peeled avocado with a fork. Stir in 2 tablespoons each of lemon juice and chopped fresh basil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and chill the spread for at least 1 hour to blend the flavors. Then spread and enjoy!
