Let’s be honest here. When has an avocado ever failed you? Probably never.
Besides being absolutely delicious, avocados are pretty much the epitome of healthy foods. They contain Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Potassium, Magnesium, Iron, and so much more!
They are low in saturated fat and are filled with healthy monounsaturated fatty acids.
The fat contained in avocados is not just any fat. It’s made up of oleic acid, which is known to reduce inflammation and proves to be beneficial for genes linked cancer.
Since the world’s love for avocados has only grown over the years, I thought it was best to compile a list of all the ways you can eat avocados.
You can thank me later. 😉
