Avocados get a bad rap because they are quite fatty, but that fat is actually the good kind. They're also a good source of potassium, folate, and antioxidants.
Maybe you should try to eat one per week. You can cut up avocados and put them in a salad or use them in guacamole.
Here's my simple guacamole recipe:
1 Avocado
1 small plum tomato (or any tomato)
Corn chips
Scoop out the avocado, put it in a bowl, and mash it. Dice the tomato and stir it in with the avocado. Shake some garlic salt and add a spritz of lime juice and it's ready to eat! Makes a hearty snack for two.
Don't be surprised if you feel quite full after eating some guacamole. Fat is known for producing a feeling of satiety. It's pretty much a small meal more than a snack. I like to eat it as a meal on a day where I'm not that hungry or if I had a big lunch earlier.
