Although avocados are a fat, they are considered a good fat...monounsaturated fat. These fats promote the health of your heart, and have been proven to help speed your basal metabolic rate (BMR). This is the rate at which calories are burned at rest! Eating food that increases your metabolism....WOOHOO!
One cup of sliced avocado has 234 calories, 21 grams of fat, 12 carbohydrates, 10 fiber, and 3 protein. Add these fresh ingredients and you have a healthy dip.....if you don't eat a bag of chips with it:) LOL

1 lime ~ fresh squeezed
