Happy National Guacamole Day!
Did you know that existed? I sure didn't.
Avocados are actually quite good for you. So guacamole with a whole grain baked tortilla chip is a better snack than your regular chip & dip.
According to the FDA - eating too much fat, saturated fat,trans fat, cholesterol, or sodium may increase your risk of certain chronic diseases, like heart disease, some cancers, or high blood pressure. Health experts recommend that you keep your intake of saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol as low as possible as part of a nutritionally balanced diet.
Avocados, due to their mono and polyunsaturated fat content, are a great substitution for foods rich in saturated fat. Avocados also contribute nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and beneficial plant compounds that can contribute to the nutrient quality of your diet.
Good to know.
I love simple guacamole, but there so many delicious variations. Avocado Central has recipes for every taste out there.
Its Friday night, why not curl up with a good movie & a some chips & guacamole.
I know I am!
Have a great weekend!
