Avocado Tuna Spread

This recipe stems from a camping trip I once took when I was 14 years old. I went with a church group and forgot my sack lunch for the first day's meal! Luckily, a leader shared her meal with me: tuna and avocado. I was considering starving. The combo seemed crazy and in my young mind I was sure it was either death by starvation or death by eating this lunch! Reluctantly I gave in to eat it only because if I was going to die, I might as well have a full tummy. To my surprise it actually tasted good! But, I was sure it only tasted good because I was STARVING and it took me a while before I had enough guts to try it again. 

Now, I use this recipe as a great go-to when I need a quick, healthy snack. It's AMAZINGLY nutritious and I love the taste of it! There are so many great health benefits for TUNA. I highly recommend you read  this article about what it can do for you:   The World's Healthiest Foods; Tuna
  
Avocados are a great source of nutrients too! They actually PROMOTE blood sugar regulation and  help PREVENT the occurrence of cancers in the mouth, skin, and prostate gland! You can't get better than that. Give it a try! I'm sure you'll love it.
