I made this avocado salad for lunch a few days ago and was amazed at how good I felt afterward. It has enough protein, fiber, and healthy fat to fill you up, but won't leave you feeling bloated, either. This recipe makes one serving that provides 520 calories, 34 grams fat (mostly unsaturated), 59g carbohydrate (19 grams of that are fiber), and 8 grams of protein. The best part is that it is really quick to make.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 Avocado

  • 1 cup Baby Spinach
  • 1 tsp Olive Oil

Preparation:

  1. Score avocado all the way around and twist in half. Remove the pit. Score each half with a knife to create cube-like pieces, and scoop them out of the skin with a spoon. Place avocado cubes in serving bowl.
  2. Peel mango and then slice and dice off pieces. Place mango pieces in the serving bowl and discard the pit.
  3. Toss 1 cup baby spinach in the serving bowl.
