The Science Behind Avocados: A Superfood for Keto

Avocados are an essential keto superfood, rich in monounsaturated fats that support heart health and fiber that improves digestion. One avocado contains more potassium than a banana, helping to prevent keto flu and muscle cramps. Studies also show that avocados help regulate blood sugar, making them perfect for those managing insulin levels.

2 ripe avocados
¼ cup diced tomatoes
2 tbsp red onion (finely chopped)

1 cup shredded cheddar or parmesan cheese
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
