Absolutely! Avocados are incredibly nutritious. Avocados are quite unique fruits. They are rich in healthy fats and have powerful health benefits. This low-carb superfood is loaded with healthy fats, fiber, and various nutrients. Avocados are high in heart-healthy monosaturated fatty acid and potassium which are important for maintaining healthy blood pressure levels and lowering your cholesterol and triglycerides levels. In addition, avocado eaters were found to be healthier than people who don't eat avocados. Markedly, their fat content helps you better absorb nutrients from other plant-based foods. Also, avocados may help you with weight loss by keeping you feel fuller for a long time and naturally eat fewer calories. Therefore, you should incorporate this rich and creamy, weight-loss-friendly fruit in your diet asap and see its benefits for yourself.
Homemade avocado dip usually lasts for 1-2 days if you keep it in the fridge. But because it's surprisingly easy to make I recommend you to make as much as you need. You can simply halve, double, or triple this recipe to get the desired amount of this tasty vegan dip.
