The right amount and the right type of fat are very important to the body. They play a role in the manufacture and regulation of hormones, help with weight loss, enhance our immune system, help promote healthy brain function, reduce cholesterol, reduce cancer risk, play a role in stabilizing blood sugar, and help to prevent diabetes.
Fats are also important in transporting other nutrients, such as vitamins A, D, E, and K—the “fat-soluble vitamins”. While oil is a not-so-healthy source of healthy fat, avocados are a great source of these healthy fats.
This recipe uses delicious avocados to make a white bean dip rich and creamy – without oil.
Packed Lunch Tip
Sandwiches are a pretty common lunch food for those who don’t have a gluten sensitivity; but, what do you do if you can’t eat gluten? Gluten-free bread is one option for a gluten-free packed lunch, but many find that they enjoy expanding their mid-day meal repertoire beyond the traditional tiffin.
This white-bean guacamole is great for brown-baggin’. Just add some cut veggies and baked chips and you have a quick, easy, and nutritious gluten-free lunch!

This is really good. So much better than store bought guacamole or guacamole in a restaurant, and with the beans, you get a lot of fiber. Highly recommended.
