Healthy and Yummy Avocado Recipes - By: Sylvia Nasser

I seriously love avocados. It's creamy delicious and nutritious. They can be eaten on its own as a fruit snack, or be made into a salad, a dip, a soup, a dessert or a tasty addition to a superb dish. Avocados are rich in monosaturated fats, potassium, and fiber and are known to help reduce cholesterol levels. You can count on avocados to be healthy and fit and to taste super scrumptious. What's not to love about avocados?

Preparation Instructions:

1. Cut avocados length wise, and scoop out inside with a spoon, removing the pit. Mash avocados in a small bowl, but leave them a little chunky.
