One of my favorite quick healthy nutritious snacks is an avacado. I just cut it in half, put a spoon of hot sauce inside and eat the avacado and sauce with a spoon right out of the shell. Don't even dirty a dish. I eat it plain if I don't have sauce. Sometimes I cut up a tomato and stir it in with the avacado and eat it like that. I like the taste of the avacado and the tomatoe. No need for salt. Avacado is a little high in fat but just don't eat it too often, or cut out something else. It's too good for the body to not eat. It's rich in vitamins and minerals, has no cholesteral has Omega 3 fatty acids and is rich in Omega 6 fatty acids essential for brain function which the body does not produce so you have to get it from food sources. The omega 6 found in avacados also preserves Skin, hair and bone health.
Avacado's are a must in your diet. One or two a week is enough to produce many bendfits for your body and brain.
