Why Avocados Are a Keto Staple
Avocados are known for their high content of monounsaturated fats, fiber, potassium, and B vitamins. According to the USDA, one avocado contains around 13g of fiber and only 2g net carbs, making it a keto superfood that supports heart health and satiety.
The combination of creamy avocado with umami-rich mushrooms and tangy mustard gives this dish a bold flavor without needing processed ingredients or dairy—perfect for vegan and vegetarian keto eaters.
