Ever held a party in honor of a food? I did! I celebrated the amazing AVOCADO thanks to Around the Plate and the Hass Avocado Board.
We partied with this pretty tasty fruit by enjoying…
- BACON GUACAMOLE RECIPE (courtesy of the Hass Avocado Board)
- TURKEY PESTO PANINI (via Damn Delicious)
- SKINNY AVOCADO BROWNIES (via JelliBean Journals)
I also taught attendees HOW TO PICK AN AVOCADO and HOW TO CUT AN AVOCADO and I promise it’s much simpler than you think!
Avocados can absolutely be part of a health-conscious diet! Avocados…
- naturally contain “good” monounsaturated & polyunsaturated fats
- they’re a healthy substitute for saturated fats (ex/. butter, cheese) — studies show replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fat is MORE effective in reducing risk of heart disease than simply lowering total fat intake
- are cholesterol-free
- are sodium-free
- and are very low in sugar (even though it’s a fruit!)
