Super Easy Avocado Spread

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."  ~Leonardo da Vinci

I usually substitute in my Avocado Spread in place of mayonnaise. We all know the importance of having healthy fats incorporated into our diets. See my blog that discusses "The Fatty Omega" which talks about the different omega fatty acids and the benefits of each! In particular, Avocado is considered to be an omega 9 fatty acid, nutrient dense food rich in vitamin C, K, B6, and healthy unsaturated fat, to name a few.  The avocado is considered a non-essential monounsaturated fat. These fats have shown to help with cholesterol (specifically lowering LDL's) and heart disease.

The creamy and delicious avocado spread recipe is listed below. You will be blown away by how easy it is to make such a nutritious spread!

The avocado spread looked so appetizing, I actually took a bite out of my sandwich before I took a picture of it!
