Guacamole to Nourish Your Yin
Avocado is a delicious creamy fruit and one of my favorites. It has one of the highest mono-saturated fatty acid content for a fruit and the smallest amount of saturated and polyunsaturated fats which translates as it contains really good fats to lubricate the intestines and to help with constipation. It also has 3 times the potassium of a banana. Enjoy this delicious and simple guacamole recipe.
