Healthy, because
Avocados contain many unsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid, which fights inflammation in the body and thus has a positive effect on heart health. It also contains folate, which is particularly important for pregnant women in the first weeks of pregnancy, as it protects against miscarriage and developmental disorders.
Even smarter
Season with extra herbs to make the avocado dip even more delicious and healthier. Try adding chopped fresh coriander or parsley. Guacamole is not only delicious with grilled food but also with wraps, tacos, or as a pesto with noodles.
