Why would you eat an AVOCADO???

BECAUSE I loves me some avocado!! I eat half of one everyday and could eat Chipotle's guacamole and put that $&it on everything like Frank's Red Hot!

I cut my avocados in half, take out the seed and dip chips right into them! The chips shown are my awesome find sweet potato corn tortilla chips.

Avocados are seriously healthy for you. I am totally stealing this from WebMD but it's because it's awesome.

Avocado Nutrition
Avocados are a good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamins C,K, folate, and B6. Half an avocado has 160 calories, 15 grams of heart-healthy unsaturated fat, and only 2 grams saturated fat. One globe contains more than one-third daily value of vitamin C, and more than half the day’s requirements of vitamin K.

Avocado in Salads
Consider adding avocado or avocado oil to your salads. Recent research shows that antioxidants such as lycopene and beta-carotene are better absorbed with the healthy monounsaturated fat avocados have in abundance.

Super Bowl Guacamole
What would guacamole be without avocados? On Super Bowl Sunday, Americans eat about 8 million pounds of guacamole. For Cinco de Mayo, the tally is closer to 14 million.

Avoiding Browning in Avocados
To reduce oxidation (browning) of an already-sliced avocado, sprinkle lemon juice on the exposed flesh and then refrigerate in a plastic bag.

**My Tip - replace mayo with avocado!!! It is great on burgers, and meats and with tuna!!
