One of the things we all look for are snacks that provide a good amount of calories whilst also providing nutrients. Given that CFers not only require additional calories but are also challenged with malabsorption, calories alone are not enough. We need to look for nutrient dense foods as well. Guacamole is a great one because it ticks both boxes. Avocados are jam packed with great fats, plus you can spread it on toast and add olive oil and salt on top to taste.

Did you know that the average avocado contains around 4 grams of protein (way more than your average fruit or veg), plus they’re super high in potassium (an essential electrolyte) and low in sugar. They’re also chock full of  vitamin K, Vitamin B₉, vitamin B₆, vitamin B₅ vitamin C, and vitamin E plus monounsaturated fats – they’re the good kind that help lower bad cholesterol and keep the heart healthy.
