Avocadoes are a bit deal in my kitchen, and guacamole is a typical way for me to enjoy them. However, it never hurts to pack more nutrition into each bite and to spread out the fat among something relatively calorie-less. Kale makes a great accompaniment to the smooth, rich texture of the avocado. It brings added fiber and super-food status. Enjoy!
