Fats are essential in providing us with energy and vitamin absorption. However, one of the most accessible sources of fat—butter—can contribute to high cholesterol levels and heart diseases. Although we have low-risk alternatives like olive butter and ghee, they don’t give us the extra benefits like avocados do.
First off, avocados are naturally cholesterol and trans-fat-free. Compared to butter, they are creamier, thicker in texture, and brimming with protein and healthy monounsaturated fat, making them a real treat for your taste buds and health. It doesn’t stop there; they are also rich in vitamins C, E, K, B6, and potassium, among many other nutrients.
Besides being a replacement for butter, there are many ways you can use avocados to replace fats in your diet. For example, replacing shortening in baked goods, mayonnaise in salads and sandwiches, and even frosting if you’re feeling adventurous!
