Since starting my vegan blog and website I have learned a few things. One of them is that vegans love avocado recipes! What is it that everyone loves about avocados?
Avocado Nutrition Facts
The avocado is a double threat of nutrition and is one of the best foods you can eat. You will find over 20 essential nutrients in an avocado. These include B vitamins, Vitamin E, Folic Acid, Potassium, Fiber just to name a few. There is an added health benefit of eating avocados. They contain healthy fats which bind with nutrients from other foods allowing the body to absorb and digest them better.
Calories in Avocado
Many people who are trying to lose weight are concerned about the calories content of an avocado. It is true that they are one of the more calorie dense fruits but this generally isn’t something to worry about for most people. For those who are trying to maintain or lose weight the bigger concern is the fat content. One cup of avocado has about 21g of fat. While it is healthy fat it can hinder weight loss.
Are Avocados Good For You
The answer to that question is simple. Absolutely! Even if you are on a diet and concerned about the calories and fat content you can still enjoy avocado a couple of times a week. The nutritional benefits far outweigh any possible down side associated with this delicious fruit!

Avocado Chickpea Salad with Vegan Pesto
I prefer this as a salad though – always overestimating how hungry I am and spending hours feeling stuffed afterwards – thanks to the filling aspect of both avocados and chickpeas.
Avocado provides a creamy base to this dressing, without the need for added oils, and when blended with plenty of garlic and a touch of nutritional yeast for a “cheesy” flavor, it’s really satisfyingl.
