Avocado Benefits: The Good-Fat Fruit

October 13, 2026

Technically a fruit, beloved as a savoury staple — the avocado is in a class of its own. Here's what makes it so good for you.

A quick nutrition snapshot

Avocado is rich in monounsaturated 'good' fats, high in fibre, and a source of potassium, vitamin E and folate.

Most of avocado's fat is monounsaturated — the same kind found in olive oil — which can replace saturated fat as part of a balanced diet.

Avocado is a strong source of potassium, which helps maintain normal blood pressure and muscle function.

High in fibre, avocado helps you feel satisfied — part of why a little goes a long way.

Beyond toast, a little avocado blends into a smoothie for extra creaminess and good fats. Pair it with our smoothie packs for a richer blend.
