Avocados should not be shunned because of weight loss goals - they
can form part of a healthy diet. This nutritious vegetable is loaded
with vitamins (A, B, C and E), dietary fibre, potassium, magnesium and
folate. The fat contained in avocados is 80% made up of
mono-unsaturated fats which has real health benefits.
The different varieties of avocados each have a unique flavour and
texture.
Add some avocado to garnish salads;
Eat ½ a week as a treat with a squeeze of lemon and black
pepper;
Top your soups and stews with diced avocados in place of sour
cream.
