Beyond Fads and Flavor – Avocado Fuels Nutrition Goals
Finding new ways to incorporate avocado onto the plate isn't just about flavor—it's about nutrition, too. A nationwide survey representing more than 1,000 adults found that while nearly all Americans (93%) recognize the importance of good nutrition, only half (50%) consistently maintain healthy eating habits four to seven days a week. This gap is further emphasized by the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans which reported that about 90% of Americans eat too few vegetables and 80% of Americans do not eat enough fruit.

"Finding easy, customizable ways to enjoy whole foods is essential to health and well-being," said Amanda Izquierdo, MPH, RD, LDN, PR & Advertising Manager at the Hass Avocado Board. "Avocados make it simple to stay on track with your nutrition goals—especially for people who are struggling to consistently maintain healthy eating habits. With their unique combo of fiber (3g per serving), good fats (6g unsaturated fats per serving), and a creamy texture, they keep you satisfied while bringing endless possibilities to the kitchen. Plus, they're incredibly versatile, making it easy to add to any meal, from breakfast to dinner, and everything in between."
