It became a meme for millennials, but avocado toast is actually a nutritional powerhouse. Far from being an empty trend, this simple dish combines healthy fats, fiber, and complex carbohydrates to keep you fueled for hours.
The Nutrition Breakdown
Avocados are one of the only fruits that contain high amounts of healthy monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). These fats help maximize the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins/nutrients (vitamins A, D, E, and K).
- Fiber: One avocado has about 13g of fiber.
- Potassium: More than a banana!
- Vitamins: Packed with B-vitamins for energy.
