The avocado is high in fat, but most of the fat is the heart-healthy monounsaturated kind, so don’t be afraid to indulge. Aside from a key ingredient in guacamole dip, you can also add this high-fiber food to salads or use as a great side dish. You'll also get protein, a good dose of vitamins A and E, some B vitamins, lots of potassium and a bit of copper. The rich and creamy avocado has been called the "chocolate" of fruits. There’s something to celebrate!
