Since this tasty snack started catching on a couple of years ago, the avocado recipe has gone way beyond mashed avocado on toast. In fact, this healthy snack tastes so decadent it’s hard to believe that it’s really healthy. Yes avocados are high in fat, but it’s the good kind and if you stick to whole grain bread, it’s all good. Nutritionist McKel Hill, MS, RD, LDN explains to Bon Appetit, “The combination of healthy fats from the avocado and carbohydrates from the cracker are incredibly satiating.”
