Health benefits: “Avocados are a heart-healthy option, packed with folate; vitamins E, C and B6; potassium; and soluble fiber,” according to the American Dietetic Association. “They also contain heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, as well as nutrients that reduce cholesterol levels, promote healthy vision and potentially protect against cancer.”
Mix it up: Make your own low-cal guacamole by mashing it up with a splash of lemon juice, a dash of salt and chili powder to taste, and lather your avocado spread onto a celery stalk.
