For starters, avocados are loaded with fiber which supports digestion, they provide powerful antioxidants that protect our eyes, and they contain more potassium than bananas. Unfortunately, all the best restaurants are offering their beautifully plated avocado toast creations for a hefty price.  Luckily, we have a delicious alternative to enjoying your favorite green fruit… yes, a little-known fact is that avocados are fruits not vegetables!

Here’s What You’ll Need:

Step 1: Take your ripe avocado and cut it in half vertically

Step 2: Remove the pit

Step 3: Sprinkle pink Himalayan sea salt on the avocados

Step 4: Squeeze lime juice over the salt.

#SpoonTip: The lime juice comes after the salt because you want your avocado to absorb the salt. If you switch these, your lime will taste too salty

Step 5: Throw some hot sauce on top for an extra kick (optional)

Step 6: Use a spoon to scoop out and enjoy!

With this delicious avocado snack, you’ll always have a healthy choice for on the run or as an appetizer. Kick those trail mixes to the curb and try out our college-friendly avocado; you won’t regret it!
