Simple ways to include avocado
Add a modest portion to meals to increase satiety
Use mashed avocado as a substitute for creamy spreads
Combine it with vegetables for a more satisfying snack
Avocado does not need to be feared or glorified. Like most foods, its impact depends on balance, variety, and context.
And perhaps most importantly, enjoyment and healthy eating are not opposites.
