avocado snack

Looking for a healthy easy snack for the Fast, or just any time?  If you have an avocado, a little salt and pepper and just a squeeze of lemon, you have the world’s easiest snack, complete with it’s own bowl.

Halve and put the avocado, squeeze half a lemon atop of it, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Spoon it right out of the peel.  It is delicious, a good source of fiber, vitamin B, C and E.  They are also a source of good fat (monounsaturated)  and contain plenty of potassium.  Besides that, they are just delicious!
