Avocado Tuna Bowl

Print

This is such an easy way to make your own tuna salad, and it calls for an easy clean up because there’s no plates needed! You just use an avocado as a natural bowl! This is a great lunch to make because it is a spin off of the traditional tuna salad sandwich, but it doesn’t include bread! So it is low in carbs, but high in protein and good fats! Take this lunch on-the-go on a picnic or quickly whip it up at home!

Further Food Commentary:

By using avocados as the ‘bowl’ part of your avocado tuna bowl, not only does it help with portion control, but decreases likelihood of a messy clean up! In every serving of avocados, they provide nearly 20 vitamins and minerals, including lutein, folate and potassium, which are good for your eyes, enhance cell repair, and are needed during pregnancy and help control blood pressure, respectively. While avocados are high in fat, it’s the good kind of fat, called monounsaturated fats, which help lower bad cholesterol. Therefore, eat in moderation as they have a lot of calories per serving-with 1/5 of a medium avocado/1 oz is equal to 50 calories.
