Easy Fat Burning Recipes (16): Creamy Avocado Cups

Put down the chips and dip! These simple bites will quell those mid-afternoon hunger pangs—and at just 30 calories a pop. (They're also perfect as party hors d'oeuvres.)

The source of this snack's appetite-suppressing power is oleic acid, a compound found in avocados' healthy monounsaturated fats. Oleic acid triggers the production of another compound in the small intestine, oleoylethanolamide, which send fullness signals to the brain.

Ingredients:

• 1 avocado
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon reduced-fat sour cream or plain yogurt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
• 12 endive leaves

Preparation:

Peel, pit, and mash 1 avocado; set aside. Combine 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon reduced-fat sour cream or plain yogurt, 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro in a small bowl; stir in avocado. Spoon avocado mixture evenly into 12 endive leaves.
