I see that you have included avocado in all the dishes you have presented. Its versatility is amazing. I love avocado but I often wonder about the calorie content. I am glad you have settled my concern by explaining that it is one of the super foods and that the fat it contains are nutritious heart-healthy fats, with much needed fiber, vitamin A, and potassium and more.
