Is guacamole healthy?

Avocado Obsession
If there is one food item we always have in the pantry, it is avocados. Did you know an avocado is actually classified as a berry?! And its not a vegetable, its a fruit!?

Avocados are fairly high in fat, but it's the good fat! The type that regenerates and energizes your body from the inside out. They are packed full of vitamins and nutrients mainly consisting of vitamin K, folate, potassium, vitamins C, D, B12, A.
This classic guacamole is an excellent way to serve up some really healthy snacks that taste delicious, without abandoning major flavor.
Pro Tip- Citrus juice prevents avocados from browning. If you are saving a piece of avocado, splash some lemon or lime juice onto it before storing it in an air tight container and it will stay fresh and green for a few days!
