Health Benefits of Avocados
What I love about avocados is that they are easy to work with, they taste great but most of all, for their nutritional benefits. You can feel good about eating avocados since they come with a long list of healthy benefits.
Some which include:
- Heart-healthy fatty acids that can help with inflammation.
- Antioxidants that can assist in eye health.
- Avocados contain more potassium than bananas.
- Rich in fiber, which is important to keep the metabolism healthy.
Avocados are not a medical food, and can’t fix all of your health concerns or issues. They are known to be one of the healthiest fruits, however. Studies have shown that people who eat avocados daily are healthier. So, why not add this green creamy fruit to your healthy lifestyle?
How to Make Avocado Spread Appetizer:
To make a simple and flavorful creamy avocado spread, you will need:
Avocados: Ripe! The best party dip is with a good and ripe avocado. I prefer using a Hass avocado for this dip.

Garlic will boost the flavors of this dip
Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed from a lemon.
Hot sauce to spice things up! You can add as much as you can handle or none at all.
