Guacamole serves as a source of several essential nutrients that benefit your health. However, it also packs a hefty caloric punch -- a cup of guacamole can contain almost 400 calories. Eat the food in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Guacamole provides a healthy dose of unsaturated fat, the type of fat beneficial to your health. Unsaturated fat lowers harmful blood cholesterol, and a diet rich in monounsaturated fat -- the kind found in avocados -- also lowers blood pressure, according to the Harvard School of Public Health. Making your guacamole with one avocado provides you with 19.7 grams of healthy monounsaturated fat. Eating guacamole also boosts your intake of vitamin C, as avocado, tomato and lime juice all provide the vitamin. Guacamole made with one avocado, one small tomato and the juice from one lime contains 45.8 milligrams of vitamin C -- around half the recommended daily intake for men or slightly less than two-thirds of the daily recommended intake for women, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. Getting enough vitamin C keeps your skin healthy, and strengthens your blood vessels, tendons, ligaments and other connective tissues.
Zesty whites, such as New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. The mouth-watering acidity in the wine cuts through the sweetness and fattiness of the fruit. That's why a non-vintage sparking wine or Pinot Grigio also works.
