Avocado Deviled Eggs with a kick

One of my FAVORITE things is deviled eggs! Some of us only think of deviled eggs during Easter but it can be a great addition to any event. PLUS the egg has good protein and when you replace the mayo with avocado, you're looking at a much healthier "guilty-pleasure".

Avocado is reach and creamy in texture and is one of the "good fats".  By weight, they have 35% more potassium than bananas and are rich in dietary fiber, folic acid, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin K. Not to mention, they are a good source of B, C and E vitamins and have a high fiber content!
