Cilantro Guacamole
Guacamole stands on it's own and needs no introduction in terms of its health benefits. We all know how beneficial it is to incorporate healthy fats into our daily diet and the healthy fat in avocados make up 77% of the total calories which keeps you full and satiated longer. Boasting more potassium than bananas they are an impressive fruit. Throw in some cilantro for some added flavor and health benefits including aiding the body in detoxification, lowering blood sugar levels, and possessing antibacterial/antifungal properties. It's a slice of heaven in a bowl!
