When life hands you Avocados, well, you know the rest...
It's that time of year - the Avocados are fresh and delicious. And when you have a handful of Avocados, it's time to check out my Fresh Guacamole recipe!
A super nutritious food, Avocados are
actually a fruit. They're high in fat - 84 per cent of the calories (325) in an avocado come from fat (30 grams). But they contain
mainly "good" fat called monounsaturated fat (the same type of fat found in olive oil).
They have
lots of potassium too. Avocados are an excellent source of
folate, a
B vitamin that keeps the DNA of your cells in good repair.

here, and come by to pick up a handful of Avocados at Cochran's! (they're on sale this week!)
