Carbs at night can be the enemy. Controlling your carbs in the winter can be even more challenging. So here is a great snack with lots of “healthy” fat.
To learn this simple recipe, read more.
- Cut an avocado in half. Use the side without the pit, and save the other half for later since the pit can help keep the green flesh from browning.
- Fill the hole with two ounces of lowfat cottage cheese (I like Breakstone’s).
- Use a spoon to scoop bites right out of the avocado peel. You don’t even need to bother with dirtying a dish.
