Avocados are a nutrition powerhouse providing you with healthy fats, fiber and essential vitamins. They’re good for your heart, keep things moving out of your body, and can stabilize blood sugar.
Avocados are high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds as well; excellent for the brain, skin, and nutrient absorption.
Here are some avocado recipes designed to boost disease-prevention and recovery, as well as overall wellness.
These meals use avocado’s high-octane nutrients — healthy fats, fiber, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds — to feed the body from the inside out.

3. Sweet Potato & Black Bean Tacos with Avocado Crema
This recipe helps maintain your sugar level balance and helps with your gut health.
Ingredients:
For the filling:
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed
Olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt
For the avocado crema:
1 ripe avocado
Juice of 1 lime
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
1 garlic clove
Salt to taste.
Corn or whole grain tortillas
Shredded red cabbage for topping
Instructions:
Start by tossing sweet potato cubes with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of cumin, chili powder, and a pinch of salt until they’re well-coated with flavor. Spread them out evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for around 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the insides are fork-tender. The spices will bring out the natural sweetness of the potatoes and fill your kitchen with a warm, inviting aroma.
While the sweet potatoes roast, prepare the creamy avocado sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine ripe avocado, freshly squeezed lime juice, a spoonful of yogurt, a clove of garlic, and a bit of salt. Blend until the mixture is silky smooth and irresistibly creamy. This vibrant green crema adds a cooling contrast to the warm, spiced vegetables and ties the whole dish together.
Next, warm up your tortillas—either in a dry skillet or wrapped in foil in the oven—until they’re soft and pliable. To assemble your tacos, layer each tortilla with a generous portion of roasted sweet potatoes, a scoop of black beans for protein and texture, and a handful of crisp, shredded red cabbage for crunch and color. Finally, drizzle everything with your freshly made avocado crema.
The result is a flavorful, nutrient-rich meal that feels indulgent but is packed with wholesome ingredients. And really, one can never have too many avocados in their daily diet, don’t you agree? Their creamy texture and healthy fats make every dish better—and your body will thank you for it.
