Deviled Avocados are super easy to make and are full of nutrition, including healthy fats. This is great as it is and even better on toast.
Super easy, deviled avocados are a raw food mouthgasm that takes just minutes from start to delicious eating. Avocados are in season right now, too, and at great prices. I found some locally for $.68 each last night. Lots of sales on produce this time of year, in general. I got really nice mangos for $.68 each, too.
Full of the “good fat!”
“Avocados contribute good fats to one’s diet, providing 5 grams monounsaturated fat and 1 gram of polyunsaturated grams fat per 50g serving.” ~ Love One Today
Avocados are high in fat, but it’s mainly unsaturated fat. Getting that fat from a whole food is also different from eating it as an oil. Oil has been removed from the food and so lacks the other nutrients and fiber.
Avocados are also filling and incredibly satisfying. Have this for an easy breakfast that will keep you fueled until mid-day, as a light lunch, or as an anytime snack.
They’re nutriotnal powerhouses, too. Avocados contain more potassium than bananas, lots of fiber, power antioxidants, and can help reduce both total cholesterol and triglycerides.
About half a large avocado contains 160 calories and:
- Vitamin K: 26% DV (daily value)
- Folate: 20% DV
- Vitamin C: 17% DV
- Potassium: 14% DV
- Vitamin B5: 14% DV
- Vitamin B6: 13% DV
- Vitamin E: 10% DV
- As well as magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, zinc, phosphorous and vitamins A, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin) and B3 (niacin).
Just about everyone loves avocados.
Here’s the recipe. You are literally minutes away from avocado heaven.
