Can you eat avocados on Keto?
Avocados are a good source of fat when on the Keto diet. If you are a fan of avocado on toast, you may well miss the toast part immensely when embarking on a low carb diet, however there are many ways in which you can still utilise this particular fruit.
Personally, I love to combine avocado with a prawn mayonnaise salad, totally refreshing and a really good fat high/ moderate protein/ low carb balanced meal.
It can be hard to get to grips to avocado, knowing when it is ripe and ready to eat and what to actually make with it, so I will be showing you possibly one of the easiest and yummiest avocado recipes to make that is a fabulous Keto treat!

Easy Keto Guacamole Recipe Nutritional Information
Per serving ( 215 grams) Calories: 408 Protein: 7.69 grams Fat: 38.14 grams Carbs: 16.99 grams However it is good to know that in some respect, Avocados cancel themselves out. The contain 8g of Carbs per 100g however this is cancelled out by the 7g of fibre per 100g. This is a dish to have in moderation if you are sticking to the under 20g of carbs a day Keto rule. Avocados are very high in fat. Though you can make the dish without bacon lardons to save on carbs/fat/calories. This is a dish that is high in Vitamin B-1 and Omega 3.Serving Suggestion
The perfect picnic treat, I find that rashers of unsmoked streaky bacon when crisped up make for the perfect dippers. Don’t worry about leftovers, simply store in a fridge overnight and enjoy again the next day!
It’s a really easy and inexpensive side dish to make, a total crowd pleaser for any picnic this summer! I served mine in gorgeous coconut bowls for a fun twist!
