Avocado: The Good Fat




I have always been really careful with avocado, as I know that it's a fruit that's really high in calories - but I have always loved the taste of it. Just recently I found a product that I feel allows me to enjoy avocado without the worry.

Thanks to Dr. Oz I have been introduced to a super special 100 calorie pack of guacamole, "Wholly Guacamole," which helps you measure how much is "too much".

Regardless of the number of calories, there are numerous health benefits to adding the fruit to your diet. Avocados are full of the "good" kind of fat that actually lowers cholesterol, (monounsaturated).

It's also the best fruit source of vitamin E, an essential vitamin that protects against many diseases, including breast cancer, and helps maintains overall health. Also, I mean, it's an all natural snack! So no having to worry about pesky preservatives or extra ingredients. Just cut and go.

This combination gives it an exceptionally diverse range of dietary advantages. And it's so easy to eat! The avocado can be served as an hors d'oeuvre, soup, salad, dip, sandwich spread, garnish, half-shell spoon-out, entree, dessert, or drink. My favorite is to make a turkey sandwhich on Ezikiel Bread with one packet of avocado for the spread. Pretty amazing! I can now add this oil-rich, nutrient-rich deliciously-flavored food in to my diet without any concern.
