Avocados are a super fruit that have amazing nutrients, great flavor / texture and lots of “healthy” fat. Remember…you need fat to burn fat – so eat up!
I use avocados in most of my recipes or I have a half sliced up at our dinner table. Add them to your salads, sandwiches, smoothies, burgers, guacamole dip, dressings or just eat them by themselves.
Guacamole Dip w/ Cucumbers:
2 ripe avocados
1/2 tsp salt
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup onion
1 medium tomato
Cucumbers (to dip in guacamole)
Put everything in your vita-mix (except tomato & cucumber). Blend until creamy, chop tomato & add to dip. Serve with fresh cucumbers for dipping.
