easy avocado 🥑
Sporting events are an easy reason to fall off your path of clean healthiness. This year instead of the stacked nachos – try this easy avocado with pita chips or rye wraps. Avocado is high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fat (the “good” kind of fat) and full of fiber – a great choice nutrient dense…

The recipe below is one of…
