Notes
- The health benefits primarily come from the main ingredient in this recipe. Avocados are often called a superfood because they are full of monounsaturated fats that boost brain function.
- Monounsaturated fatty acids, like those found in olive oil, avocado oil, and fresh avocado, can have many positive effects on your health. These good fats can help lower your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke.
- Avocados are also full of fiber, potassium, vitamin B, vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin C and magnesium.

- Making your own guacamole at home allows you to avoid the addition of less healthy ingredients, like sour cream, excess sodium, and sugar, that are often found in guacamole that is purchased at the grocery store. This can aid in weight loss, lower blood pressure and improved immune system function.
