Healthy Fats are important to maintain cell membranes, to hold together our cells and even absorb nutrients from our food. Without enough healthy fats, you may have dry or cracked skin, brittle hair and nails, weight loss or weight gain, trouble focusing, hormone imbalances, and a variety of other cascading effects. Avocados are a great source of HEALTHY FATS to incorporate around the snack table, appetizer platter or to have alongside a healthy meal like eggs or taco Tuesday. Enjoy this festive guac around the Holidays - I just loved the combo of Red & Green!!
