Avocados are a healthy indulgence that contain a great deal of nutrition yet have a creamy and satisfying texture. You can eat some every day to take advantage of lots of fiber plus vitamins and minerals such as vitamins B, C, E, and K, as well as potassium and copper. Each avocado is made up of roughly 73% water, 15% fat, 8.5% carbohydrates (mostly fibers), and 2% protein.
Despite their relatively high fat content, eating avocados is actually linked with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. They may also help with weight loss, because eating avocado keeps you feeling full and satisfied after meals.
Yes, avocados are delicious and nutritious, but you can still get bored eating them every day. We’ve got you covered there with 10 ways you never knew you could eat them.

The result is a lovely texture and rich flavor that will have people dying to know how you pulled it off.
