Avocados have 60% more potassium than Bananas. They contain more Fiber than any other fruit. One-fifth of an avocado contains 50 calories and 20 crucial nutrients. People try to shy away from avocados due to the high fat/calorie content. What people don’t take into consideration is that avocados contain monounsaturated fat (the good kind of fat). Avocados are a great source of omega-3, helps against heart disease. So replace those fatty condiments (mayo :cringe:, sour cream, butter) with whipped avocado!
