I have been on an Avocado kick lately.. I put it on my sandwiches, enjoy them with tortilla chips, in lettuce wraps, with brown rice and chicken. It is so versatile!
The reason I have been eating more avocado is for the omega-3 fatty acids and the essential vitamins & minerals it provides. Monosaturated fats help the body absorb antioxidants!
Did you know Avocados are FRUITS???? Did you know they grow on trees??
Anyways, with just 50 calories in 1/4 cup serving Avocado has been incorporated into my diet as much as possible.
Instead of choosing cheese on my sandwich I slice up some avocado. Instead of dipping chips in cream based dips make guacamole, it is so much healthier and satisfying!
Yesterday for lunch I made a rice bowl… Brown rice, diced chicken, diced red peppers, 1/4 cup avocado, a little lemon juice, olive oil, salt & pepper. It was delicious!
Have you ever had Avocado in your eggs? I haven’t but I am going to try it out…. I will let you know what I think but I am sure it is great!
