Hello, Friends! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!
I am not joking when I say that I LOVE avocado toast!!! I have literally eaten this delightfully crunchy, creamy goodness for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Maybe not all in the same day but on many occasions when I don’t necessarily feel like cooking dinner or if it’s TOO hot outside.
This delicious toast hits the crunchy, creamy mouthfeel without adding other unnecessary sugar, or unhealthy fat.
One of the great things about this snack is not only can you peel and store the avocado ahead of time but you can definitely take this super easy and satisfying snack on the go.
Avocados are very nutritiously dense. Meaning they contain a wide variety of nutrients, vitamins, healthy fats, fiber and even protein. Here are just a few of these amazing benefits of avocados:
-
- Monounsaturated fatty acids (good fat)
- High in folate
- High in potassium
- Contain Phytonutrients -> such as polyphenols and flavonoids
- Contain Carotenoids -> specifically Lutein
I also wanted to include just a few of the MANY health benefits of adding Avocados to your lifestyle:
- Avocados can easily be used to substitute fat in baking
- Helps to regulate Blood Sugar
- Protect against some cancers
- Promote healthy eye health
- Fights against free-radicals
- Help to increase nutrient absorption
- May help protect against strokes
- Helps to control against High Blood Pressure
