I also want to say that I have never been a fan of deviled eggs, mainly because I am not a fan of mayonnaise. So, when I first caught wind of the idea of avocado instead of mayo, I was all in. Like most, I am a lover of anything avocado. Bring on the healthy fats! With these avocado deviled eggs, once you pop, you really can’t stop. Seriously, I could eat them all in one sitting.
Now, with all of the Keto chatter that I am always hearing, while I have never partaken in the diet, I did catch wind of the infamous “Fat Bombs”. When I heard this term for the first time, my honest reaction was “eww”. But, after doing some reading and learning that it is a high fat snack for those on the Keto diet. I understood.
What I love about these deviled eggs is that it is such a great combination of healthy fats and protein plus refreshing herbs, crunch of green onion, and the tang of fresh lime topped with a sprinkle of sea salt!
As a mom, it is vitally important to me to have healthy snacks that actually make me feel satiated and fueled to continue caring for my little busy body of a toddler boy.
The bonus! if you have a potluck or gathering to attend and are in need of an appetizer, I highly recommend making these. Always a hit!
