Guacamole can be enjoyed as part of a healthy diet, and is a great way to increase your intake of health-promoting nutrients like monounsaturated fats, fiber, folate, and potassium. Because it is a calorically dense food, enjoy it mindfully and pair it with other healthy foods to get the most out of your meal.

Adding guacamole to any meal of the day helps you avoid relying only on chips to get the healthy benefit from the avocados in the dip. Spoon a dollop on your scrambled eggs or omelettes, or spread it on your morning toast. Use guacamole instead of mayonnaise in sandwiches or eat it with chopped carrots or cucumbers alongside your lunch.
