Who doesn't know avocado? This fruit is famous for its soft, creamy texture. Besides being delicious, avocados also offer numerous health benefits. Unfortunately, many people still prepare avocados incorrectly, such as adding sugar, sweetened condensed milk, or excessive syrup. However, when prepared correctly, avocados can be a healthy option that helps maintain a fit and healthy body.

So, to maximize the benefits of avocado, here are some ways to process it to keep it healthy:
· Avoid adding too much sugar or sweetened condensed milk.
Enjoy avocado as is or add honey to taste for a natural sweetness.
· Mix with yogurt or Greek yogurt
This is perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Add a little fruit like banana, strawberries, or blueberries for a refreshing and nutritious treat.
· Make a healthy smoothie
Blend avocado with almond or oat milk, banana, ice cubes, and a little honey. It's refreshing, creamy, and still low in calories.
· Make it as a salad mixture
Cut the avocado into pieces and mix it with fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, and give it a dressing of olive oil and lemon juice.
· Make guacamole
This Mexican dish combines mashed avocado with onions, tomatoes, chilies, and lime juice. It's perfect as a healthy dip or as a side dish.

When prepared this way, avocados can help maintain heart health, control cholesterol levels, aid digestion, maintain a healthy weight, and support healthy skin and eyes. But remember, while healthy, avocados are still high in calories, so limit your intake to half to one avocado per day.
