10 Easy and Satisfying Avocado Recipes

These 10 easy and satisfying avocado recipes, either sweet or savory, will make you fall in love with this wonderful fruit again.

Avocado became widely popular over the last few years and considered as one of the healthiest foods in the world until it became victim of its own success. The sudden increase in demand for avocados has indeed taken a toll on the natural environment of Mexico, farmers having to choose between the forests that support wildlife or expanding their avocado farms. I believe a healthy diet shouldn’t be based on the last hottest trends but rather on a well-balanced diet where all fruits and vegetables have their importance and should be consumed regularly, avocado included.

You might need to think twice before using avocados everyday but it doesn’t mean you should stop eating them. Avocados are indeed loaded with health benefits. High in calories due to their high fat content, they are nevertheless an excellent source of monounsaturated fat, that are known to help protect against heart disease and lowers blood pressure. The oils provided by an avocado include oleic acid and linoleic acid, recommended as part of a balanced diet to prevent high cholesterol.

Avocados have also more soluble fiber than other fruit and contain a number of useful vitamins and minerals, such as B-vitamins, vitamin K, potassium, copper, vitamin E and vitamin C. The consumption of avocados have been associated with various health benefits, such as decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, and it also have the advantage of being very satisfying, which keeps you full and satiated, avoiding cravings.

Last but not least, don’t forget avocados are just simply delicious with their rich, creamy texture, and this is also why we all love them so much. I leave you now with a bunch of avocado recipes to try for any occasion. Enjoy!
