Technically, avocado is a fruit. However, many people consider it an "honorary vegetable." Avocado appears in many keto recipes, due to the high amount of healthy fat it contains. It is important to note that avocado is a high-calorie vegetable, as well, so if you are counting calories, keep this in mind. One-third of a medium avocado (50g) has 80 calories and contributes nearly 20 vitamins and minerals, making it a great nutrient- dense choice. The avocado is virtually the only fruit that contains heart-healthy monounsaturated fat.
