Incorporate multiple versions of guacamole into your diet
Guacamole is nutritious and a favorite of many.
But just because an avocado is nutritious does not mean you can forget that it is a high-fat fruit that should not be eaten in abundance.
We do not recommend more than half a cup of guacamole a day. Remember that the secret to a healthy life is a balanced diet.
